The Mechanism of Destruction -
The Darth Vader Sprinkler...
I have often wondered when we would realize the folly of our existence.
Would it be when World War III came? When both sides could no longer just "figure it out?"
When the United States could no longer afford to make the expenditures it does to help "heal the world?"
It's a whole lot more simple than that:
How about when I'm surfing the Internet and find:
THE DARTH VADER LAWN SPRINKLER
While I have been surprised at some of the recent items that have been made available, this one struck me as somewhat "odd." The reasons continue to mount but lets start with:
-- "The Lightsaber": Can someone please tell me what Toy God can be hailed to make lightsabers and long cylinders of plastic STRAIGHT when they are crafted? With all of the cool stuff being shoveled into the toy markets these days you'd think they'd get at least one that they could take a picture of that's not bent.
-- "The Pose": You know that the people in the Target Photo Services - Merchandising Division are laughing their asses off with this one. (Hears Scooby Doo "Doo-doolooo-doooo" sounds and picture fades to a warehouse floor full of overworked photographers and a mountain of new "STAR WARS CRAP" that they will now have to dig into - thereby missing the most recent and telling episode of "LOST" or "24" to date) "Hey, dude: What if we turn it like - this - Ha! That's the shit! Look at that! It's a red-hot lightsaber love snausage! Yee haw! I'm surely in line for the Pulitzer! Holy Schnikes! Check out Princess Leia and the Buns! Schwing!" "Yeah, this'll teach Rosie to give us this load of toys last minute! Yeah!"
With all the directions that this could be pointed/photographed/showcased, how "hard" would have it have been to get a better picture?
-- "The Description": I have seen a variety of descriptions for this item that I thought I would share with everyone.
From Target.Com: "Try to stay dry and steer clear of the Dark Side with this Star Wars Darth Vader sprinkler. The 10" tall sprinkler has multiple spraying action from a spinning Vader atop the Death Star, including a stream that comes from his light saber. The sprinkler attaches to any standard garden hose. Wipe with damp cloth to clean. Made of PVC and ABS plastic. For ages 3 to 5 years. Imported. 10-1/2Hx6-3/4Wx6-3/4L"."
From ToyRUs: "Let's get wet! It's easy to stay cool and have fun with this Star Wars water sprinkler. Darth Vader spins as water sprays from his light saber. Sprinkler is 10" tall and connects to a standard garden hose."
From STARWARS.Com: "Let the Dark Side defend your lawn from the ravages of summer heat or cool you off on a hot day with this Darth Vader sprinkler! Standing 10" tall, this great new Vader sprinkler spins around with water spraying action, wielding his lightsaber in a furious battle to save your lawn! Let Darth Vader be the center of your backyard universe today with this very cool garden accessory."
Of those, I'll take what's behind description number 3 please.
-- "The Controversy": That's right! When on this Earth have you ever seen something without controversy! The Darth Vader Sprinkler also is surrounded appropriately by the dark veil of controversy. The debate: Does water ACTUALLY COME OUT OF Darth Vader's Lightsaber? Does it come out of the base? Does Darth spin as the water shoots out? Now that I think about it, does the "limp/bent" Lightsaber/noodle perhaps speak to the fact that the water comes out of the lightsaber?
The only way to figure this last note out was clear - that right! The circle is now truly complete: Mike, the skeptic anti-collector has just purchased (1) Darth Vader Lawn Sprinkler from Target.Com and it will be here in a few short days. Stay tuned for the Blow by Blow Review of it. It's sure to be a Barn Burner/Soaker!

Yes definitely let us know when you get the sprinkler in. I saw this also and shook my head...then I reached back to check my wallet to see if I had just enough $$$ to actually buy one myself also.
"This is RED 7 standing by - we have the package in sight, I repeat: the package is in sight! We will be going in with a scissors and a smile in the next few hours! More as I am able to divert my attention from the Target.Com sticker and zeal!"
