Is this proof that the resistance to American global domination is proceeding in a register that the Department of Homeland Security hadn't anticipated?:

No, it's not an accident:

``I hate to blame the importer. He probably did not know what he was getting. He brings them in 40-foot containers. But whoever made it knew exactly what they were making,'' Pedron said.

Pedron said Lisy did not notice the small plastic figurines until two people complained, but there is no mistaking what the toys represent: At the bottom of each is the product number 9011.

``When we found out what happened, we recalled them immediately,'' said Pedron, who said the toys do not reflect the company's view. ``I was offended by them.''

Even I'm offended and that's saying a lot. Still, I'm impressed with the extent of the subversion. 14,000 bags of candy is a lot.
