Marvel lawyers fighting to prove that Mutants aren't human

Mark this up as one more blow to human-mutant equality. Marvel lawyers are putting up a fight to prove the mutants aren't the same as humans after all. Unleash the Sentinels!

Specifically, "dolls" are toys that represent some sort of human, and "toys" are representations that are non-human, such as robots or animals. And it turns out, the non-human toys are taxed at a much lower rate than the human ones, 6.8 percent versus 12 percent. Hence, two Marvel lawyers are arguing that Mutant action figures are not actually human — and therefor shouldn't be taxed as much. And thus unknowingly unleashing the age-old Mutant debate that has long been a part of the X-Men's world.

They're just trying to draw attention away from the debate over whether toy lawyers are human or not

I almost literally shuddered at the thought of the child who would play with a toy lawyer. And now also the adult who would collect one.

Whew, that puts me in the clear. I'm an adult, but I only play with them, don't collect them.

Idiotic tax law.
