Legos go Hollywood (again)

OK, this is AWESOME. Well, at the very least it's humorous. I don't know if you played with Legos as a kid, or if your children enjoy them (and if they do, presumably you do not, as they are always found under your bare feet or in your dog's mouth), but Legos have withstood the test of time, if anything. And, they've done so by continually modernizing and playing into pop culture wherever possible.
Some old Lego figures, for example, sported mustaches, when those were popular. There are plenty of female Lego people and those of color as well. Then, of course, there were the Star Wars Lego's. Nothing in the universe is cooler. Now, Legos are taking on Hollywood. They proudly offer likenesses of Madonna, complete with some sort of bullet-bra inspired corset-wear and a gap-toothed grin, and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, with a mini-Lego baby attached to the front of each character. You can tell which on is Ange based on the ridiculous size of her lips.
Other celebs given the go are Amy Winehouse and the Beckhams. if you don't laugh at the Lego Posh, who is of course wearing something fashionably fabulous, then I don't know what. Seriously, I can't stop laughing when I look at these. I don't know if they're intended to be collectors items or worth the money one would pay for them just to have them underfoot and in the dog's mouth, but they are pretty hilarious on a very basic level. The lips on Ange alone are hysterical. Previously, the likes of Indiana Jones, among others, have enjoyed being made into Legos. Enjoy!
And, here's a parting question: Who would YOU like to see as a Lego?

I'd love to see the presidential candidates...and even past presidents and other famous people in world history. This would be educational and fun for kids to play with.
