Why am I reminded of "The Specials"?

Here's your chance to get the Stephan [sic] Hawking Action Figure! His wheelchair comes with helicopter blades, boxing glove and... some kind of weird rubber casters on extending tubes, it looks like.

And is it just me, or is it the height of tackiness to boast that the action figure "is articulated and [can] stand", when the real Stephen Hawking isn't so fortunate?

Now, i'm well aware that it's from The Simpsons (That wasn't a bad episode, really), but a Stephen Hawking action figure?

That's just...no.
stand approximately 5" tall

....WHat happened to your comments pages?
I mean, the type-your-comment-here comments page. It looks kinda different.
Huh? Different how?

Actually, it doesn't look different anymore. Or maybe for a picosecond there I was SWITCHED INTO A DIFFERENT DIMENSION.
