What is it with kids toys that manufacturers feel they need to give them all really stupid mispelled names? Playskool, for instance. What is that teaching our kids, that spelling is important unless you're selling something? I have trouble with all those made up words, like Cingular for instance, but there should be a rule against doing that for kids toys. Not a law, mind you, we are libertarian enough. It's like those TV shows when I was growing up where the cute kid always had a lisp. Listen folks, having a lisp doesn't make you cute, it's just annoying. Likewise, spelling kids "kidz" doesn't make it youthful, it just makes you look stupid.
Charlie Sheen is apparently coming out with a line of children's clothes called Sheen Kidz. Granted, Charlie Sheen has never given much evidence that he could spell his name (except on checks to high-priced call girls), but you'd think someone in his vast Sheen/Estevez empire would have passed 3rd grade English.
