... she said, grimly.

JCPenney is selling this product just in time for Christmas.

Following is the note I just sent them -- I selected "Contact Us" at the JCPenney website, and clicked through customer service through "e-mail us" to "products" and then "toys." The product number, which the form asks you for, is IH655-0158A.

You can't be serious.

Kids are going to play soldiers, okay, even if there's not a war on. Toy soldiers, and toy tanks and helicopters, and toy bunkers, and even toy guns, I'm okay with. But toy shelled-out homes? For ages five and up?! I mean, does it come with little toy bodies of the people who lived there before the Marines arrived? Or is there a toy refugee camp somewhere else in your catalog with those figures in it?

I urge you to reconsider offering this product for sale, and I'm sure countless other consumers will agree with me. You may contact me at the above e-mail address.

Yours sincerely,
etc.

i sure the hell hope so. but all the same, i'm bracing myself for a round of "well, then, don't buy it, but let the real patriots get it for their kids if they want, you pinkos."

Oh but it'll be a *polite,* Corporate Christmas Cheer (tm) version of "you pinkos." Something about customer response, etc.

JCPenney is never getting another cent from me. Ever. Regardless of their reaction.
