'You can't spell slaughter without laughter'
"Amazon users are addressing the drone controversy with sarcasm. Maisto International Inc.'s model Predator drones are selling out on Amazon.com Inc.'s website as parody reviews highlight how the toys can help children hone killing skills, mocking a controversial U.S. practice. The toy is a replica of the RQ-1 Predator, an unmanned aircraft that the U.S. Air Force has used in combat over Afghanistan, Pakistan, Serbia, Iraq and Yemen, according to the product description on Amazon. Only one of the $49.99 military-style toy jets is available for purchase on Amazon's site, which is brimming with assessments laced with dark humor. 'You can't spell slaughter without laughter,' one pithy joker wrote."

The toy is a replica of the RQ-1 Predator....
Hmm, I was expecting a detail scale model to warrant the cobblers, not a ruddy dinky toy.
Some people really do need to pull that stick out of their arse. I don't think the collection of model tanks I had when I was a lad did me any harm. In fgact, I think I can put my hand on my heart and say that I've never even thought about invading Poland.

Indeed, TeeCee.
And don't forget, TV sit-coms rarely (if ever) cause random acts of comedy.
