Who knew Disney could be bad for kids?
Posted by jeckert on 11/20/2009
An environmental health advocacy group in California has found high lead levels in seven different toys including Disney and Barbie products. Despite the fact that the group tested over 200 toys and only seven were found to contain lead, the levels of lead present were staggering, some many times the legal limit.
Despite the fact that there have been fewer toy-related deaths in the past year than in previous years, all eyes turned to China (where 80 percent of U.S. toys are made).

I got Sonic the Hedgehog 2
I got Sonic the Hedgehog 2 back in the day around the early 90's,actually it's my first video game to play.This game is so fun and easy to play,I always thought Sonic games have the best music,its so addictive.The levels are really fun and have different creative enemies.One thing about this game I didn't like is the boss(Dr.Robotnick) at the end is hard,the reason it was so hard is that I forgot how to beat him,and he was harder than the first game.
Things in Sonic 2 that improved
1.Sonic has a spin move,he didn't have it in the first game.
2.The levels are shorter,two levels instead of three levels,its too long with three levels.
3.lives are easier to get,Ive got seven lives on the first level.
4.The bonus levels are more fun than the first game.
5.Tails is in the game and and you can play him with second controller.
6.The enemies are better and more creative
I would recommend this game if you like platform games and have a Sega Genesis,if you don't already own it.This game is alot better than the first one,but the first one is really good too.Other games that I recommend are Sonic and Knuckles and Sonic 3.
