    Hmmmmm.

    Well if Tonka can get away with their “Built for Boys!” campaign, what’s a little midget railway?

    Scratch off some paint and see if you can get high on it.

    Then you won’t care if it says “midget” or hobbit.

    You’ll also have the bonus of the hallucinations.

    it’s a win-win!

    Hmmm…”Little Peole’s Railway.” Nope, that sounds too much life Fisher Price’s name…ummm…

    “Vertically Challenged Railway.” Nope…too complex. Kids wouldn’t get the joke.

    “Shrimp Railway.” Nah…sounds too yummy. Kids eat enough toys.

    “Dwarf’s Railway.” Hmmm…that gives me image of that guy from LOTR…

    Well, damn…let’s just go with midget. hopefully we won’t get sued too bad….

    Ad slogan: “No midgets were harmed in the making of this toy”, “Kid tested, midget approved”

    I’m so going to he*l… Heck I was going there anyways.

    “Little People Railway” was probably too long to fit on the side and this was one of those infamous “Short Cuts” you hear about in the paper after the shiz has hit the fan.

    I’m voting for either:

    1) The What-choo-choo-talkin-about-willis Railway

    or

    2) The Get in My Railway

    It should be.

    The fact that you would post such – and possibly even own that item in your home – is extremely offensive.

    Just kidding.

    I was curious to see if anyone else was bothered by the name. The Internet was all abuzz with praise for the construction of these, but nary a mention of the offensive name.

    They are actually made in the USA, so I guess there’s one positive for them.

    Scratch off the “M” and it gives it a whole new meaning.
