This is a interesting article about how Target is not selling Manhunt 2, becuase it is possible for some one to modifiy some code (a config file I assume) and reburn the disk, and then be able to get access to some filtered content.
I don't know why Target is bothering with doing this. I will parent my kids, and don't need some store to do this for me.
Yesterday evening, we had family movie night. The kids picked out "The Wild" from Blockbuster. This was a bad movie. There are several things wrong with it, but the major problem that I have with it is that it really is just a knock-off of Madagascar the movie.

The kids and I were playing around the pool today. Our son said that he had to go to work on the other side of the pool. I asked what he does at work, and he said that he "fixes bugs".
Makes a dad proud!
I finally got around to sending back the Thomas the Train toys that were involved in the recalls. (The toys had been bagged up in the office closet.) Hopefully they will send the replacements soon. (Not because the kids have played with trains recently, but because I want to make sure that we keep the sets relatively intact.)
When I mentioned this to some coworkers, they mentioned that they had some Thomas the Trains sets, but they are not sending them back, because their kids have grown out of the toys. This concerns me, becuase as soon as people forget about the recalls, these toys may be passed down to younger kids.
If you have some of these toys, please have them replaced.
