Madeline Ashby sends us this photo of “Elf” toys filed away in the Toys “R” Us “Science” section, noting, “My husband and I braved Toys R’ Us on the final Sunday before Christmas to bring the happy mutants this FAIL. Our theory is that Toys R’ Us committed a classic logic fallacy: science = nerdy; elves = nerdy; elves = science. It’s the only explanation we can think of for what is an epic failure of toy taxonomy.”
(Thanks, Madeline!)
