Our children and grandchildren are special and their playthings should be special too - stuff that helps them blossom into smart, happy, positive kids. That's why we pick out gifts with loving care.

On February 13th the Toy Industry Association will reveal the 2010 toy picks at their 10th annual "Toy of the Year Awards" Ceremony. We're not sure kids will get loving care from these folks.

Hasbro, the maker of the G.I. Joe line of dolls and a multitude of murderous accessories is nominated for awards in two toy categories.

This will all happen at the Chelsea Piers (Pier 60) and we've got to be there as the attendees file into the awards ceremony. We'll tell Hasbro and the rest that it's time to...

RETIRE G.I. JOE - ALL WAR TOYS MUST GO!

Chelsea Pier 60
West side of 11th Avenue at 20th Street

We'll have banners, songs, flyers. Bring your very welcome self and take a stand for "Smart Toys not War Toys."
