My oldest son is a Lego freak.  He absolutely loves the stuff. So my wife goes out on the Internet (usually Amazon) from time to time to look for some good deals on the latest Lego sets.  One that my son has been looking at is the Mars Mission MT-51 Claw-Tank Ambush.  So my wife went to Amazon, and as a smart shopper, she looked at the reviews.  Below is one of the actual reviews. 

My son turned six last week and he has been excited about the new Mars Mission Lego sets since he first spotted them in the magazine. I, however, have been struggling with the themes of the set. First of all, if humans are exploring Mars, that makes US the “aliens,” not them. Second, why is there the assumption that “aliens” are automatically on the attack? I don’t like the human-centric assumptions and the explore-attack-conquer approach to learning about the rest of our universe. Maybe I’m being too sensitive but it seems like a slightly more balanced view of space exploration could have been presented with this set. Sure, they’re just toys; but they help children build a foundational understanding of our culture, our world, our universe.

This is taking political correctness to the extreme, I gotta tell ya’!  Worrying about people on Earth is one thing, but freaking out about aliens?  And you know what else is scary?  TWELVE PEOPLE FOUND THE REVIEW HELPFUL!!!!

All I can say is that I hope this person was just having fun.  Sheesh…
