The Evolution of Elves

Elves have come a long way from the not-well-liked pranksters of medieval times. Shakespeare gave elves a boost, and Tolkien made them heroes. Cracked examines the split between toy-making elves and fierce video game elves.
Toward the end of the European renaissance, it appears the elves diverged into two distinct sub-species. The first consisted of the smaller, craftier elves, the kind that enjoy building toys or baking cookies. They maintained their predecessors' small, plump, ugly appearance, but they appear to have moved away from the habits of kidnapping peasant babies and killing livestock.

Yeah! Parachute and "the football", briefcase with the nuke codes. Call in his own support strike.

And it does look like a Denzel/Arnold Governator love child.

ted,

OMG, your right, it's not Obama. This figure is wearing a flag lapel pin, Obama doesn't wear those!

I think this action figure is pure awesome, I love the light sabre fight image against Darth Vader.

Randall & Gauldar are right; this can't be Obama. A lefty wouldn't hold the gun like that, Obama doesn't do lapel-pin flags, plus the ears don't stick out quite far enough.

Disappointed.

Obama holding a gun is going to one of the last images you'll ever see in your life. The guy is one of the most anit-gunners out there. If it was up to him, we'd be like the U.K. or Australia.

@Guldar:

That's quite impressive. Australia beat out the US on that Happiest Countries poll by a staggering 3/10ths of a percent. Maybe the US would be a much happier place if everyone had an Obama Action Figure.

@Dave

Your probably right, I mean it works for crying & complaining children screaming at the top of their lungs at their mother in a Walmart. Will one work for you honey?
