By Drew Guarini | Posted: 02/01/13 EST
On the Internet, sometimes you can't avoid political bickering. Even while shopping for a children's toy online.
The latest instance: a protest Amazon users are holding on the page of a children's unmanned aircraft toy. It's been inundated with users reviewing Obama administer's use of military drones abroad, pointed out by Buzzfeed's Andrew Kaczynski.
The toy shares the "Predator" name with an unmanned aerial vehicle that has become a favorite of the U.S. Air Force and CIA. The use of drones -- particularly in countries where the U.S. is not at war such as Yemen or Pakistan -- have come under intense scrutiny in recent years for causing child casualties, with studies showing drone strikes could potentially cause unprecedented blowback.

Unlike the govt model, we kept it under a million dollars. Probably less carbon fiber. LOL

Stuffy old eBay doesn't allow for such etail mayhem and starves the creative palate.

I've found that Amazon has tons of ridiculous products that inspire volumes of creative feedback. "Jesus General" at Patriot Boy has become a regular reviewer there. His tongue in cheek satiric writing style blends right in among the serious feedback.

His fans pump up his reviews and put him near the top everytime.
