Techie Action Dolls...R U Kidding?

Honest...the world never ceases to amaze me. I couldn't make this stuff up!


















Me: This morning I read an article in the New York Times about a company called M.I.C. Gadgets that is manufacturing actions dolls for sale.

Him: Yeah, so whats the big deal? Action dolls have been around for years, Captain America, GI Joe, the Ninja Turtles...

Me: Yeah, but all those figures represented characters with super-powers.

Him: Your Point?

Me: M.I.C. Gadgets is venturing into a new area of action figures...an area where the characters do not have super-powers

Him: I'm almost afraid to ask...OK go ahead, what area?

Me: The technology area.

Him: Are you kidding? M.I.C. is making action dolls that look like techie people? Like whom?

Me: How about Steve Jobs for one. M.I.C. Gadgets is making an action doll that looks like the Apple CEO.

Him: Oh, I get it. I can just hear M.I.C.'s advertisement for the Steve Jobs doll..."Look up in the sky of Cupertino...its a nerd..its a brain...No its AppleMan. Faster that a Pentium Four processor, more powerful than a Power Mac G5, able to hawk products at a hyped event. Who disguised as Steve Jobs, mild mannered CEO for a major Silicon Valley computer company fights the unending battle against Microsoft Windows and for the American way".

Me: Well, I don't know if it will be exactly like that...but.

Him: Tell me, what other action techie dolls are they making?

Me: M.I.C. Gadgets is also producing a Mark Zukerberg action doll.

Him: What?! You mean the guy who invented Facebook and was in that movie getting sued?
Oh I can hear that Ad too...Dr Mark Zukerberg a techie geek. Searching for a way to tap into the social desires that all humans have. Then an accidental overdose of friending others alters his body chemistry. And now when Mark Zuckerberg grows angry or is unfriended a startling metamorphosis occurs. The creature becomes driven by money and is pursued by an army of lawyers.

Me: Well, that might be a little much...but.

Him: Hey, is MIC going to do a Steve Gates action doll? I can hear...

Me: Why don't we forget that for now.
