What the hell is the point of this thing?  You draw on a screen, and it spits out on paper a copy...of exactly what you just drew on the screen.  What is the friggin' point?!  Can't you just draw it right on the paper?  What exactly is "amazing" about it?  How does this thing "inspire creativity and active imaginations"?  What a useless piece of nothing.

Here are the two Amazon reviews of the product:
 
1.  I guess we expected a little more. My boys were excited to get it - but I don't think they'll play with it again. You basically put a white paper on top of a colored sheet that when you press hard - it leaves a light color mark. Don't know what you do when you run out of the "marking" papers... Save your money, folks!
 
2.  It amounts to an expensive holder for carbon paper, which made more of a mess on my son's hands than the paper! He had to press really hard to get ANY marks to show on the paper, and the picture was only pushed out by the rubber wheel inside about half the time. He played with it for about 5 minutes. We returned it.

Just what we need.... a toy that indoctrinates little kids to grow up to be mindless yuppie office drones.
 
I wonder how many of them will end up being this guy...

Now there's even MORE reason to chaperone that Children's Christmas Party...never know what could happen; a liitle too much kool-aid, partying a bit too late...never know WHAT this will lead the little girls to do on those copiers...

A modern day Etch A Sketch perhaps?
 
Only that product will waste paper/ink and electricity to run.Confused Whatever happened to a box of crayons and some paper?

The Rose Petal Cubicle is probably not far off.
 
We used to make stuff like that, out of folding tables, couch cushions, and afghans.

Kinda cool.  But if I blacken out the entire Etch-a-Sketch, will I see inside my monitor?

That's too funny!
 
Thinking back on my childhood, my sister and I used to play a lot of pretend mundane career games.  Teacher, librarian (we actually typed library cards and pockets for all of our books and would sign them out when we'd pull them off the shelves LOL), post office.  We were weird kids, I guess!

Honestly, when I saw this commercial I was like "Big whoop, this is NOT anything new." I am about to turn 26 and I had something like that as a child. It was a POS that barely copied a damn thing. BUT maybe it sucked because it did not have "LITTLE TIKES" All over it. Who do they think they are fooling?

Is it just me or is Little Tikes making some pretty crummy things lately(a copier, a stuffed horse on wheels)?  

When will they start selling "My First Sexual Harassment lawsuit" playset so the "secretary" can sue her "boss" for sending photocopys of his azz to her??LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOL

There's a good banter going about "things you don't see anymore" and playground safety came up.    Really fit in with my stuffed horse thing,

The only improvement the Etch-A-Sketch needed was a button you could push to temporarily remove the pen from the glass.  Seems it would have been easy enough to do, but they never did it, far as I know.

Wonder when the rumors will start that kids can get high licking the paper.  (That would boost sales!  To idiots! LOL )  Or lead poisoning, since it's most likely made in China....

OMG, I just had to reply to this; this is EXACTLY the kind of thing my friends and I would do!  There was something so FUN about playing teacher, librarian or secretary.  We typed "official" stuff up too! (Oh what fun you could have with an old-fashioned manual typewriter or even an early model electric.)  Of course, watching adult behavior was a novelty, so that made it fun.  Too bad being a REAL teacher, librarian, or secretary isn't nearly as much fun as it seemed!
