This final note today. An item that kinda makes you shake your head a bit.

Quentin Tarantino, as you might know, has a new movie out: "Django Unchained," about slavery and rebellion and revenge. Not a theme that you'd think would easily lend itself to gimmicky marketing tactics.

Or would it? You can now buy -- should you so choose -- poseable eight-inch action figures of the main characters. Slaves, masters, the whole thing.

Does anyone really expect sagacious judgment or socially responsible behavior from the likes of Tarantino? Show of hands, please.
