The ...A wonderful Johnny Seven archive pic Woodsy. The Johnny Seven is a childhood zeitgeist of its period... it sold in a technologically and socially optimistic era, when kids perception of combat was shaped mostly through the sanitized and censored mediums of cinema, TV and comics, Todays Xbox combat games are also a product of their own period... created and sold in a technologically advanced and socially changed society, whose defining characteristic is, unrestricted, uncensored, mass media access and consumption. Objectively, I'd suspect that regardless of generation, boys are biologically hot wired and socially conditioned to have an attraction towards military toys, games and guns. Subjectively, my salute goes to the legendary Johnny Seven, a true spirit of its time. <br />Regards Tony KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
