If you outlaw yo yoes

Post by 20cows »

Just saw an interesting commercial....

A Diet Mountain Dew commercial. "Did you know yo yoes were invented as weapons?"

They then replaced guns with yo yoes. It appeared to make a lot of fun of folks with gunophobia.

IIRC the Yo-Yo was a weapon of the native Philipino people.

LOTS of "toys" were first invented as weapons.

And on a side note, once you learn Kubotan techniques, and learn to carry a solid (no sections) metal-barrel-pen you can ALWAYS be "armed", even on a plane.

Especially if you use 80lb test nylon coated fishing leader as the neck strap for your ear plugs.

2 metal barrel pens and 1 leader = turban-popping garotte... that goes through TSA like nothing...
