Life imitates art imitates eBay imitates Muppet Central

I found this one funny. Remember the description of the 1978 Fisher Price Fozzie plush on this site's Collectibles guide:

"As you can tell by the shape of his head the Fozzie doll was based on the original, first season Fozzie who was later redesigned after the second season of The Muppet Show. Fozzie's hat is supposed to be non-removable"

And here, ladies and gentlemen, is why the word "supposed" was added to the description:

And are we meant to believe that the McDonald's Fozzie next to it is ALSO a vintage Fisher Price doll?

OK, rules for selling toys...

for kids under five, they are "educational"

for kids over five, they are "scientific"

for toys that look like this, they are "vintage" or "collectible"

Be sure to come back next week for Real Estate 101, where you will learn that a cramped shoebox is "cozy" and a derelict eyesore is a "renovator's dream"

Aisle six at Wal-Mart, right next to the cans of human spirit

They have canned human spirit? I allways thought the government banned that product.
