'I Just Work Here'
We spent part of the day at the Sci-Fi Expo at Madison Square Garden. The worst find of the day: The Fidel Castro doll sells for $50 while the Hitler (War Criminals of the 20th Century series) doll goes for $60.

I asked who buys the stuff and the guy selling it assured me it's not merely white supremacists who shop his collection of Luftwaffe pilots and other Nazi soldier dolls. He ended with a not so convincing "I just work here."

Update: Michael Kelley is linking to a story about the company that makes these dolls. Their future business plan: serial killers and "Middle Eastern Agitators."
