play on playa

Maybe I AM getting old, but I always find myself saying that kids today dont have "real toys" to play with. I mean no diss when I say that nowadays everything is connected to a TV show or or movie. Everything is Dora the Explora (or Go Diego Go apparently), Nemo, Spiderman or Clifford associated but what happened to toys that didn't need to be linked to anything to be fun to play with. Like an etch-a-sketch, and a skip it. Well the good people at VH1 decided to air a show called I LOVE TOYS where they had the 100 GREATEST TOYS OF ALL TIME; check out the top 20...remember these...Personally I was kinda bored with the hula hoop so I woulda put legos at the top but...WHATEVER
