froodleThe world is not perfect. I have accepted this. Reality TV exists; I am unable to crush the annoying with the power of my mind; Gerard Butler is unlikely to become my personal slave. And mostly, I'm okay with that.
But the sheer wrongness of some Star Wars merchandise out there destroys me. And I'm not talking about the vibrating lightsabre or the voice changer in the shape of Darth Vader's helmet. I'm not even talking about the fact that, placed side by side on a shelf they inspire visions of Star Wars-themed sex games, which is a world of horror all by itself.
Oh no. I'm talking about the birthday cards. Specifically, the blue one with "a special birthday message" written on it and a picture of Obi-Wan Kenobi... in an attack stance. Exactly what kind of "special birthday message" is that? "Now that it's your birthday, I hope you get all your limbs sliced off and are left to burn alive in a pool of lava"? How gutted would you be to recieve that?
......
I'm totally giving it to one of my brothers.
