I have never seen TTAC3 look better, that Type 56 behind Brian is a real looker.

Yeah, makes me stoked on the one I've got in the mail.

Brian expressed himself very well, but it's obvious they cut the finer points he may have made for the idiots who watch this show. Honestly, a sensationalist piece on replicas, followed by a bit on the legitimacy of a transvestite's cancer curing invention. Absolutely pathetic. It was as least nice to see footage of people having fun with airsoft in a controlled environment.

edit - My bad, the piece is still running. Brian's point about 18+ and liscensing was good too.

hahahahaha man the only thing that scared me about the episode was the horrifying manwoman at the end.... eww!!!!!!

pusangani · February 27th, 2009, 21:52

So we have transvestites going around swindling honest folks with bogus cancer-cure shams and these idiots are worried about toy guns? WTF!!!??

The Saint · February 27th, 2009, 21:53

Could've been a lot worse.

Brian, did they leave out anything you told them?

LOL awesome.

Just to remember to everyone: http://www.cbc.ca/marketplace/2009/t...guns/main.html

Could have been worse, I think. The average joe will probably still think that "looks like a gun = bad", but anybody actually listening to what was said, especially Brian's points, should understand the facts and shouldn't be that scared.

Oh, and the bunny (?) at TTAC made me laugh.

Colin_S · February 27th, 2009, 21:59

Hmm I guess they didn't like my interview, lol too much emphasis on safety and responsibility I guess.

Overall it wasn't too bad, puts more emphasis and questions about BB guns than airsoft.

Cobrajr122 · February 27th, 2009, 22:00

the episode is now on the web.

EDIT

ugh you beat me to it Comanche

Conker · February 27th, 2009, 22:01

Oh, and I liked the fact they compared the three laws and how it doesn't makes sense.

mopic · February 27th, 2009, 22:02

Not that bad, I don't think anyone objects to over 18. the people at TTAC looked and acted responsible. The point of the piece is that under 18's should not be able to buy them. Something we all likely support

I think it's time that we start submitting some comments on the Marketplace website.

Do not spam them. Either make sensible, balanced comments or don't comment.
