Default Toy company selling Moon Hoax Diorama !!

Iīll bet that more than one of you has a Lunar Diorama or an Apollo Diorama, but hereīs your chance to get a true Moon Hoax Diorama, complete with astronauts, LM, cameras and the lot !

Itīs being sold by the Florida-based Clawmark Toys:

http://www.clawmarktoys.com/ufo-index.html

Hereīs the picture of the Moon Hoax Diorama:

http://www.clawmarktoys.com/ufo/ws98.jpg

The caption reads: "Special Limited Mystery Diorama (Moon Landing Hoax) (there are those who believe that we did not go to the moon, but that a film was made here on earth depicting the landing on the moon."

Now, how about making a Moon Hoax Debunking Diorama ? Letīs see: We should have two figures, "Jay" and "Phil", dressed in dark and with dark sunglasses, sort of like the Blues Brothers of debunking. And what else ? Letīs hear your bid on a Moon Hoax Debunking Diorama !

Well not only that, but look at the background. What's the number 1 complaint about the sky in the Apollo photos?

Oh, and it looks like Rene <?> was right, those suits obviously couldn't fit through that LM hatch. :roll:

How long before part of this image shows up on some HBer's website as "proof" of the hoax ("Here we see part of the movie set NASA used to fake the landing")?

they're charging "$5-15" for that? most of that stuff looks like things you'd get out of the quarter machine at the grocery store.

and they got the Colossus of Rhodes wrong, too (contrary to popular belief, it definitely didn't bestride the harbour entrance).

Look, I'm British and even I can see the flag's wrong! <sarcasm on>I mean, it's pulled out TOO STRAIGHT along the top! </sarcasm off>

...... and .... well, stars!!! #-o (yes, there aren't enough of them on the flag! .... oh yes, I forget, it should be too bright to see them anyway.... )

Oh yes, and who's controlling the big camera to the left? AHA! There's a good one!

How can anyone take that site seriously? I mean, they don't even have a Mongolian Death Worm model!

Bah! Amateurs.

"SPECIAL MYSTERY FIGURE - Nessie embryonic stage"


Hey! That's not Nessie! That's the Illinois state fossil!




Ogopogo (Canadian Lake Monster)

Ogopogo? Oh, you go, Pogo, back to Alabama. These clowns have a fetish for state fossils....

Wow, that is one funny site.

I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever. . . accuse the dollar store of selling kitsch.

Us? We're not the ones that turned out Strom Thurmond... and you could argue that anything putting actual prehistoric lifeforms before the public is a positive. If I move over a bit, you might be able to see the slab I picked up a few months ago with amphibian footprints dating to the Mississip, er, Pennsylvan, err, whatever it's officially called in the latest geological timescale. The coal age, when giant lepidodendrons ruled Alabama. (Comment omitted as to whether the quality of state government has changed).

No, no, NO! The state fossil fetishists are the idiots misrepresenting the organisms. While there is nothing wrong with exposing the public to the joys of paleontology, twisting interesting creatures to fit a repellent and moronic form of commercial shysterism is disgusting.

The model for "Ogopogo" is Basilosaurus, the Official State Fossil for Alabama.

The other one, the "embryonic nessie", is actually Tullimonstrum gregarium, the Official State Fossil of Illinois.
