Eduardo GaleanoOne of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.

A little doll that will make them feel even bigger and stronger.

This is a good thing legally if nothing else.
