  • The Op-Yop was a toy marketed in the 1960's by a company based in Royal Oak, Michigan called Kramer Designs. The company's original location was an office on Adams in the neighboring community of Birmingham. The history we could find was based on a Time Magazine article in 1968 where it was stated that a million of the Op-Yops had been sold and another million were expected to sell by Christmas. In my travels, I have found some additional information including an internal memo relating to some six months worth of advertising that was done on the Soupy Sales Show with Soupy doing the commercials shot in Detroit. There were also memo's to retailers advising them to stock up on the toy to be in sync with the Soupy Sales ads. I tracked down the original molder who made the parts and talked to

  • Well, not really, if you let them go to "war", then you should have some doubt as to whether you are going to see them again. I mean seriously, if your son is "going to a war", do you really expect him to come back? Oh, and the "Vietnam War" didn't happen anyway. What? You don't believe me? Well I've got evidence. The alleged outcome of the war was U.S. defeat... I can't see it happening myself. I mean look, when have the U.S. ever lost before? Never. Why, when against a country that has half as many poorly trained and equipped troops, do you lose?

  • The Vietnam War was never declared - Nixo-facto, the Vietnam war never happened. What really happened was that John F. Kennedy sent advisors into Vietnam to help them with a border dispute. Over the course of a few years, more and more advisors were needed and eventually the border dispute was ended. Now some people call this a "war" but in reality, it was just America helping a defenseless country in the way only America can. Some people say the Vietnam war was a mistake - probably because there is no oil in Vietnam. Who knew?

  • U.S. troops were sent to fight communism but they complained they were not being really supported by Washington, remaining undermanned and underfunded.

Back home, there were many protests against the war. Vietnam is later mentioned as becoming the 51st US state.
