KENSINGTON, MD, December 22, 2011 ― So here’s the obsession: I’m not terribly offended by the new Lego playsets aimed at girls.

The righteous people at the Lego company announced that in 2012 they’ll be releasing a new set of Lego Friends playsets targeted at girls. In combining to being more pastel in hue than your average Star Wars Lego playset, these will present more realistic human figures and settings that are thought to appeal to girls more than the fire stations, time stations, and architectural landmarks in existing Lego sets. The new sets look simpler to set up than, say, the Lego City line of playsets but still feature the same old plastic bricks with pointy, pointy corners that we all be informed and love.

This is very bad news for any parent who has previously Lego-ambivalent children. I send my deepest sympathies to you if you will be acquiring new Lego sets and I propose that you wear shoes indoors from now on. Just trust me on this.
