"Lego characters are getting angrier - and could be harming children's development"

"It's one of the few toys that's remained popular for more than a generation.


But even Lego characters have now come under fire after researchers found they are slowly becoming 'angrier'.


Christopher Bartneck, of New Zealand's University of Canterbury, has published research showing that Lego characters are becoming more conflict-oriented, and the human figures featured in Lego sets are getting angrier.


The study found that Lego figures most frequently feature happy or angry expressions, but since their introduction in 1975, the proportion of angry faces has been rising. 


The findings also raise questions about the role of the design of toys and its impact on children, say the researchers." -- Daily Mail website.


Is this bloke for real? Did someone commission and therefore pay this retarded tw*t to investigate angry faces on Lego men?? UNBELIEVABLE!!!


Rant over.
