Yup, we're doomed.

A breakdown of the top 10 most wanted toys for this Christmas among children aged five to 16, revealed a grown-up taste in gifts, with Apple products, including the iPhone 4, iPod Touch and iPad dominating the top three places.

Approximately 39 per cent children quizzed desired Apple gadgets this year, with 17 per cent of five to eight- year-olds, 50 per cent of nine to 12-year-olds and 66 per cent of 13 to 16-year-olds all putting Apple items at the top of their lists.

The top 10 toys for Christmas 2010, according to the report are:

1) iPhone 4 (14%)
2) iPod touch (13%)
3) iPad (12%)
4) Kinect for Xbox (6%)
5) Zhu Zhu Pet Hamsters / Kung Zhu Hamsters (5%)
6) Flip Video Camera (4%)
7) Toy Story 3 Jet Pack Buzz Lightyear (4%)
8.) PlayStation Move (4%)
9) LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 Video Game (3%)
10) Barbie Video Girl (3%)

As a counter-point, I'm really hoping that I get a Toy Story 3 Jet Pack Buzz Lightyear this year.

Well, at least 10ish% are still mostly decent kids.

You know what I want for X-Mas?
At least ONE really good freaking PC game.

I want a Ferrari 458 Italia for Christmas.

That looks awesome.

Wow....

[Xessive]

That there's the lean of humanity, shortly followed by the decline, and ultimately the fall.

For Christmas, I want... to chill out with some friends.. That's all I really want.

I want either more money or feweer expenses.  God, I hate life right now.

That looks awesome.

It's an amazing car.  I went to the dealer where I live and they had a new one there.  The sales guy actually introduced the vehicle to me and let me sit in it and power up the electronics and explained how everything in the vehicle works.  The trunk is spacious (for what it is; it's bigger than a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 and an Audi R8, though it can't hold a candle to the SLS AMG trunk) and I love the design of the vehicle.

Unfortunately all the 458's have been recalled due to a fire hazard.  Luckily, Ferrari is fixing it.  Still, it's my dream car right now next to the Gallardo LP560-4 and the SLS AMG.

I feel ya. I made a spreadsheet calculating my revenue, expenses and dividing it by my bank balance and at this rate I'm set to hit zero dollars on February 13, 2011.

Pretty sure I'm already there. Actually, I'm way beyond that if you count student debt.

*Sigh*

Well in that case you win because I've managed to avoid student loans so far. That'll probably change soon. I just went grocery shopping and my bankruptcy date moved from February 13 to February 7.

[Quemaqua]

I would like to not spend the entirety of every single day of my worthless fucking life split down the middle in a raging tempest of indecision, pain, fear, and uncertainty.  If somebody could get me that for Christmas, that would be awesome.

[gpw11]

*Sigh*

No really, I'm losing my shit here.

[Cobra951]

And I know why.  Intimately.

[gpw11]

It...it doesn't go away does it?
