Even Amazon
Y’all, there’s a new Christmas present for your children to celebrate the birth of a undocumented worker born in a strange land. It’s a wall to keep the likes of Sweet Jesus on his side to keep us God-Fearing Americans safe on the other side.
Just in time for Christmas, Conservative gift retailer Keep and Bear has a toy called “build the wall.” It’s a lego-like mess about how wonderful Trump’s border wall is.
“A mob of 10,000 Central American migrants is marching through Mexico and heading toward El Paso, Texas. Mexican border agents attempted to stop them at the Mexican border, but to no avail,” the promotional material reads.
No, I am not kidding.
Hell, this is so bad that even Amazon won’t carry it and they carry some really questionable crap.
They also have a depiction of the kind of people we don’t want in our country.
You shall know them by their hats.
You really need to test the waters over at Keep and Bear – it’ll get your blood Russian to your head.
Eons ago when I was a tyke there was no such thing inasmuch as the toy industry was not at the level it is today. Thank goodness! As bad as the toy is, what is even worse is the fact that there will be people who will buy it.
1If I buy it, will the Mexicans pay me back?
2Without a parent who would indoctrinate the child in hate, normal children will readily accept the man in the colorful sombrero while thinking the gray wall to be boring and dismal.
Ms. JJ with some alterations we could do something fun in a fundraiser with that Dotard45 as Santa Claus image. Show children who Orange Foolius really is: a greedy orange man with tiny hands who steals from children to give to himself.
3@ Jane and PKM:
So here’s a tidbit from the St. Petersburg area [Florida, not Russia.]
There’s a couple of local artists — married to each other — who have come out with the coolest children’s book ever.
“Mr. Trunk Builds a Wall.”
Their 3-year-old son loves it, fwiw.
I don’t know if it’s still possible to get hold of a copy but, if you’re interested, you might be able to contact Heather and Daniel here:

P.S.
5Sequels are in the works and Kickstarter will be the platform for funding future projects — so coming books WILL be available if you offer a donation.
two crows, thank you. Much appreciated as we love finding books for KJ and Jack. Our boys love “Whose Boat Is This Boat?” by The Staff of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

6I shared this story on my Book of Faces Page with the caption, “I hope Lego sues the sh#t out of them!”
A friend who has gone over to the dark side shared it on his Book of Faces Page with the caption, “I just ordered this with the optional machine guns for the top of the wall.”
All I could reply was, “Well played.”
7What are those brown blobs on the ground in the closeup photo? They don’t look like rocks, and seem like they’re only on one side of the wall?
If you’re dumb enough to buy such crap, now every time your white son John Smith Jr. looks at the box cover, he’ll think, the border is worse than I thought. On the other side, a $hithole country without even the hole.
8two crows,
I just got an email back from the artist. He is selling copies on his website:
https://danielgovar.bigcartel.com/product/mr-trunk-builds-a-wall
and he expects to have them up on Amazon in a week or so.
9So with the toy, we are supposed to break through the wall to get to the party on the other side, right? Anything to get away from the screamy man in a suit on this side.
My youngest is 4, so when he thinks of Mexico, he thinks Coco and starts trying to sing “Un Poco Loco”. Somehow, I don’t think this toy is going to have the effect the makers intended.
10Next year they’re bringing out “Li’l Auschwitz” and “Abu Ghraib: The Board Game.”
11What I, as a kid, would get from the front of that box:
It looks a lot more colorful and fun on the other side of that wall.
It’s really easy to go around the wall.
What I, as an adult, get from that box:
You’re teaching kids to hate. I’m sorry that’s not illegal.
12Reviewing the website induced a nosebleed. Then a yuuge bout of nausea. Then the rage-filled tears for what our country has become. Time to put these varmints back under their rocks for another generation, or more.
13F*cking racist scum.
14I sent the Lego company an email complaining of the image it is giving their product.

15What Debbo said. That too. And teaching kids to be f*cking racist scum, which is even worse.
