I was reading some articles online today, and I felt a post coming on. So the title might have not very good wording, but anyways...
So I want to tell you guys this:
You know guys, since summer, I went on an around the world trip. I went along except for my dog. Yeah, she's the best traveling partner. We took a plane to England, met up with James Bond. He took us to France and we jumped out of his helicopter. We parachuted right onto the Eiffel tower. Then we used the jetpacks he gave us to fly to Greece, then Egypt. We went down to Botswana. After we jetpacked to China, but then we ran out of fuel, and the solar panels weren't working. We fell into the Indian Ocean. We almost drowned, but then... um... Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow came and saved us with the Avengers. They took us to China. We hiked for weeks until we reached Mongolia. There we stayed for a bit, then crossed the border into Russia. We hijacked a plane and then we came back. Yup.
So none of that really happened. You guys were probably able to tell that when we met James Bond. Or when I just started. Plus I'm allergic to dogs. How sad is that?
Anyways. As you all know, the Hunger Games movie was a big hit, and Catching Fire is coming to theaters this... this November?
As a huge fan of the Hunger Games I thought the movie was kind of disappointing compared to the books, and I was so happy when they changed the director (no offense intended). But this post is not about the Hunger Games. I don't know if you guys heard about this, but those Nerf guns? I always thought it would be pretty cool to have, but I never did. Hey, do those hurt? Hm... anyways. Nerf is making a new line of toys for girls called ReBELLE. Okay, the belle isn't actually in caps. I read about it, and I was thinking this, "Why the heck are all the toy lines for girls always pink? Always? Is it like... like it appeals to us? Like we're some sort of things addicted to the color pink?!"
And then, why would they bother have another line for girls? One of the new products is the Heartbreaker Bow.
Anyone can see they're capitalizing on the whole archery popularity. On the Merrida and on the Katniss Everdeen. Yeah, it looks really pretty doesn't it!
It isn't the first time a toy company did that. What about Lego Friends! Great fun for girls! I played perfectly fine with "boy legos" when I was younger. But they were smart. Almost everything is purple, not pink, yeah.
