Toys aren't as cool as they were back in the day....

So I'm hanging out with this awesome girl I'm currently dating and we head into a Toys r' Us. Why you ask? Because we're awesome. Pay attention. Anyway, so were in there in the first thing that we see was the Magic 8 Ball. The Magic 8 Ball, a treasured classic for every kid who grew up in the early 90's (late 80's as well? When was that invented again?). What do the kids have today though? A Magic 8 Ball that gives you answers in that abbreviated text shit that people use in text messages (duh!). I mean why ruin a classic toy? I mean come on! Then I come to find out that kids have the option of buying Home Depot toys. Yes, Home Depot, you know the place where you hated to go to with your dad when you were younger (yeah I work there, but that's irrelevant right now). I will say the weed trimmer is pretty cool because it loud and there's tiny nerf balls where the trimmer usually is  (yes, I was given a valid argument for justifying the toy), but everything else was just lame. Worst of all, however, was probably the dumbest toy I've ever encountered in my entire life. It's this toy called Hexbug. I don't know the point of the toy other than it's supposed to move around like a bug which is fucking retarded. If you think about it if your kid actually partakes in collecting these things aren't you subliminally telling your kid it's okay to have bugs in the house and them crawling around can be fun and accepted? I feel like this toy is aspiring kids to have their houses be like that movie Joe's Apartment. Hey! Just never get your house fumigated and let the bugs hang around. It's cool. You can be the Ace Ventura of bugs! Make your house one big Ant Farm, but you know, not just segregated to ants. Yippee! What the hell happened to acceptable toys like Lite Brite, Creepy Crawlers, Teddy Ruxpin, and Micro Machines?

I agree with you Lite Brite. Hexbugs? What are you? What is your purpose?!
