The bags contain a toy that looks like a plane flying into a building and, we found, a second toy that looks like Osama Bin Laden suspended between the two buildings.

Eyewitness News broke this story, but, for the first time, we had the chance to speak with a representative from the corporation that distributed the candy.

"Importers did not realize what they were buying. They were buying assortments of toys and they get to people like us trying to sell authentic Mexican candies. Nobody caught it and it went out into the stores," explains Lisy Corporation manager Luis Pardon.

The manager of Lisy Corporation says the candy was originally purchased sight unseen, but now he'll send back all he's collected.link (http://www.wftv.com/newsofthestrange/3691006/detail.html)

I wonder how somebody thought this was a good idea?

Maybe it was supposed to be shipped to Pakistan or Iran instead of the U.S.

It'd probably be a big seller in those countries.

They must have been meant for overseas somewhere or someone was asleep in the candy factory.

I can't remember which episode, but it must have been Ivanova. I remember the bear better.

Yeah, the candy must have been meant for someplace else. Although it might be funny to see a swinging Osama. (On a rope would be even better...)

now it seems like terrorists are doing this - some sort of propaganda to sap moral.
I have to believe that,
because I can't allow myself to believe anyone being that frelling vacant minded.
Isn't there a prosses between thinking it up a to manufacturing to sales, that would give the opportunity for at least one human being some where to say "what the Hell is this Dren" ?

Close. Ivanova about Londo, whose "action figure" was missing six crucial body parts.

Hey, my mom bought a Osama squeeky toy for the dogs for them to destroy. Sadly, they haven't destroyed it yet.

Does anyone else think that looks more like Mojo Jojo than Osama?

We should get so lucky as to see Osama strung up between two tall buildings. Too bad that thing is just a "toy."
