Action figure. People can stick pins in it, put in the freezer. It's far more dangerous than a videogame.

I've always felt that if you back down from a fear, the ghost of that fear never goes away. It diminishes people.

Both my parents are English and came out to Australia in 1967. I was born the following year. My parents, and immigrants like them, were known as '£10 poms.' Back then, the Australian government was trying to get educated British people and Canadians - to be honest, educated white people - to come and live in Australia.
