Here’s an interesting idea from idea-a-day.com<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\"Eureka!\"<\/p>\n

Sell a range of Inaction Man and Inaction Woman figures and accessories, e.g. TV, couch, remote control, coffee table, bowl of peanuts, six-pack of
\nlager and a variety of classic Chinese, English, Indian, Italian and Turkish takeaway meals. For those who might question whether slothful, gluttonous, TV-obsessed lager drinkers are suitable role models for
\nchildren, the standard response would be to point out that: <\/p>\n

(a) kids don’t get to choose their parents but they love them all the same; and, <\/p>\n

(b) on reflection, knife-wielding, gun-toting, tank-driving action figures may
\nwell have their flaws too.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

P.S. They did not choose to publish my<\/em> idea to have a section of dominos set up in a plastic base that would be loosely hinged at the bottom so they could fall over in the classic ‘domino theory’ sense. There would be a hooked mechanism in the base that could grab the back edge of the toppled dominos and set them back up en masse<\/i>, then get out of the way. Each section would be about 18″ long, with 72 or so dominos, and there could be special colored or trick sections that would do all the classic tricks like making an American flag, or climbing stairs, and the sections would all hook together like a model train set or Hot Wheels&#153 track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
