Taking a break from our usual sporadic youtube coverage mixed with nasty jibes about the forthcoming election, I give you a Tonka commercial from the US which I very much hope they don’t re-dub and schedule to play here this Christmas:


Why buy your small son a Tonka? Because Boys are just built different! They pull your favourite flowers up by the roots, tear up your Stepford-wife house with their dog-chasing antics and probably shit all over the floor when they’re off camera, and it’s totally because they’re Boys, not because they’re toddlers! Because they’re built different! Different to Girls! And Tonka is built for Boys! Not for Girls! Because two year old Girls would cut the flowers with secateurs, arrange them with proto-Geisha flair, wrap them in ribbon and present them to you on a tray with breakfast! Two year old girls would bathe and blow dry the dog, pick up the blocks, and eschew the truck because it didn’t come with a Barbie! Because that’s what Girls do! They’re Like That! Boys are just Built Different!
