From News of the Weird.... Electric Chair Mania! "Rides" called "The Original Shocker" at a Rockville, Md., arcade and "The Electric Chair Game" at various parks in Italy are simulated fatal experiences in a death-row electric chair, from the strapping-in to the controlled dose of electricity (voluntarily administered, enough to cause heavy vibrations) to the sound of sizzling juice to the cloud of smoke, and capped by a flat line on a heartbeat monitor. "Winning" involves staying in the chair until the machine declares you dead; losers release the electrodes early. And among America's best-selling toys last summer was Death-Row Marv (McFarlane Toys, $24.99), in which a man strapped into an electric chair trash-talks his "executioner," almost begging to be lit up with more jolts of electricity. Anybody know where I can get a Death-Row Marv ??? ------------------ Save our children from the TAAS test: TAAS test report card TAAS test fact sheet
Just in case you were serious, you usually get toys from Todd McFarlane at comic and specialty shops. Things like his Spawn line you can find at Toys R Us. Stuff like Death-Row Marv are a bit harder to find. You could always visit McFarlane Toys website at www.spawn.com. ------------------ Hey, I've got a new signature! 302
