Thinking is unauthorized. (Ha ha, thought you could trap me, yes?)
I do not like this Happy Hour Play Set. Where is the Jack Daniels vodka? Where are the ashtrays? In my kittenhood, no self-respecting bar was without ashtrays. And pretzels. Open ashtrays (not covered Barbie types, which do not allow the smoke to hover pleasingly around the bar). And salty pretzels. To make one thirsty.
All self-Party-respecting Reds in those days drank and smoked. It showed that we were Of The People. But not the bourgeois people, Lenin forbid.
Ah, those were the days, my friend. (Cue the balalaikas.)
So, it appears that Facebook is all atwitter (no pun intended...ok, so it was) about the so-called fake toys so much so that it was picked up by [url=http:////heatst.com/life/people-are-panicking-over-the-fisher-price-happy-hour-playset-but-the-toy-isnt-even-real/]Heat Street[/url] and apparently even the debunked debunkers at Snopes is getting in on the act
Score another one for the Cube and friends!
p.s. Anyone know where I can pick up a 'My First D.U.I.' playset? There is a certain state's attorney's son that I would like to give it to. You know what they say: 'like father, like son'

Muchas gracias, Comrade.
Yet even that Gloriously Looney logo is heading (at dizzying speed) toward Memory Hole.

NEW YORK, Ny — It's another reminder not to believe everything you see on the internet.
A photo of an alcohol-themed Fisher-Price playset has been circulating online and drawing attention. It shows a toddler-size bar, with play bar stools, beer bottles and a pretend bar, CBS News reported.
Today.com reported that the photo, which was originated by brandng agency owner Adam Padilla, went viral after comedian Amiri King reposted it on Facebook.
CNet reported that some angry parents complained on Fisher-Price's Facebook and Twitter page and the company had to repeatedly reassure them that the toy was not real.

yay! then, they will also be able to counter Russian election-hackery, ja?

The kitties of my acquaintance do not counter; they recount. To them, I will give a shiny new ballot-replicator.

But I think the Meth Lab Playset is real. It must be...
Perhaps a Dr. Kevorkian Kompassionate Kare Kit might make a treasured gift for a progressive tyke. (Alas, I have no Photoshop skills with which to portray such a gift.)

and a nice akademia ― first speeches, and then : artistic part! say, like in Poland's '50s? :
recitations (Mayakovsky!), revolutio-patriotic songs (below*!), Ukrainian (yep!) dances?
just a faint approximation of Poland's '50s,
here: '78, anniversary of October Revolution, Song about Lenin
(yup! 1978, and akademias still had that North Korea charme) :

all this talk brings us all into a fine progressive spirit...
while it may be "bourgeois", a little indulgence for the common good is progressive...
As such, I want to wish all a happy holidays and inform all
that all talk about Queen Hillary's Holiday party being like a wake
are ALL false and right wing propaganda !
(just à propos a refrain-line of Shirakaaa... alias Wide is my Motherland... in Mystery box)
linguistic µ-quirk :
the phrase : ya drugoy takoy strany nye znayu, gdye tak volno dyshit chyelavyek!
meaning : I know of no other country where people [men] breath so freely!
translates into Polish (the Mickey Mouse way, yet honestly)
to : ... gdzie tak wolno dyszy człowiek!
meaning : ... where the men wheeze so tediously!
alack, nuances, nuances...
(BTW, I know of no Polish translation of Shirakaaa... - I'm pretty sure there is none.)
(anyway, we kids sung it pa russki - and why not? it's optimistic, melodious, and good to march.)

Say what you want about this glorious People's Hymn, the KGB takes care of rest. Even the most lowly Kapitalist scum can appreciate the warmth of the olden-times recording quality. It brings back memories of pre-revolution times with Bing Crosby and Andy Williams on radiotronic sound system. The warmth is simply not seen in my local party's futuristic recording studio with DOS 1.0 computer as soundboard and recording device. It doesn't even have a screen, we find old teletype in rail station and use that!:

sound : how true (me too was near-shocked, when I found it on YT).
music : ... optimistic, melodious, and good to march ... (emphasis on melodious).
and content ? :
I said, in some other context, this : (and - potential reader with Eastern Bloc load in memoria - forgive the blasphemy:)
... skip "the Red" - that Soviet/Commie/Agitprop background - and you got a nice "human hymn".
The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by precedent, by implication, by erosion, by default, by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other - until the day when they are suddenly declared to be the country's official ideology. ~ Ayn Rand
