Think about it. All toys are sexist. Except maybe like Pokemon or something, but even so. My point still remains.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I thought about this many times before, but until now I really didn't think about it until I saw [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrmRxGLn0Bk&feature=relmfu]this[/url] great video duo.
I do believe and have always believed Lego was being gender stereotypical, and I do believe the new friends line is a waste of money, marketing, and is probably going to be taken out in a year or so so Lego can prove it can't market toward girls.
This did bring interest toward Lego products and the possibility of altering it's marketing toward a more unisex way of advertising. It's pathetic to think that the only way to to break a gender stereotype is to build a whole new compound just for the other gender.
What do you think?]]></content>
