Whatever happened to marbles? Did you ever play marbles when you were a kid? I didn't. I also didn't know anyone who did.
I did, however, use marbles in Hungry, Hungry Hippos. Now, I've started to delve a little bit deeper into this game. Sure, it seems like innocent fun, what with the Hippos trying to gobble down as many marbles as they can.
But isn't that a perpetuating a stereotype? Saying hippos are always hungry? That all they ever want to do is eat, and therefore get fat. That doesn't seem like the public image that hippos would want. All in all, it seems pretty racist to me.
Maybe the Hippos should set up a lobby on Capital Hill, right next to those damn Injuns and fight for justice!
