Yes Soup, this has been discussed on several other threads. Obviously not everyone has a sense of humor. [:(]

The original gag idea was amusing, but I think they overplayed their "hand."

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.

Back in the (not so) good old days, I actually built a 5DCC railroad. Rolling stock was built of bits of wood and cardstock, to a scale of 1:192. During the immediate post-WWII period, that was about all this middle-schooler could afford.

But it was FUN!!!

The magazine article was misleading and at first I was upset about it, but then I watched that video and laughed all night[(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D]

I agree that it was heavy handed. But, I still laughed.

Another in a long line of April Fool gag articles by MR. The video had me ROTFLMAO. It was a good one.
