    We now have multiple lemmies discussing this. How many IKEAs do you have in your house?

    How many Taco Bells have you eaten in the last month? I don’t care if it’s a restaurant, if you have more than one it’s Taco Bells.

    Mostly agrees on the smilies though. Basic identifying features like masks or glasses can work, but expressions and likenesses to movies are harbingers of dooms. Just give me a guy, a few wheels, a few doors, and a few hundred bricks, slopes, and plates and I’ll be happys. I don’t need all the unique bits that only fit one way.

      Dude, why do you care? It’s a giant corporation that only exists for you to shovel money at it. The whole ‘making kids happy’ concept ended when they started selling stuff for hundreds of dollars.

      They don’t care about you, so maybe don’t care so much about them.

        It’s not a problem unique to a dutch toy company, but that instance is by far the most common. Feel free to shit on companies as much as you want, but please don’t trample the English language as you do, it’s broken enough as it is.
