halloween is coming up... and already... one major company is pulling a child's costume off store shelves, because some consider it offensive. it is a boy's costume for a character in disney's new movie "moana". take a look. this costume comes with full- body tattoos, a fake shark tooth neckless, and a green-leaf shirt. this is supposed to be "maui"... a revered ancestor in polynesian traditions. but some say the costume mocks the polynesian culture and plays into stereotypes. disney says it took great care to respect the culture of the pacific islands while making "moana", and it will stop selling the costume. the fear every drone owner has is that if they crash their device, it will shatter. but now, there is a fun solution! you're looking at the "lego u-a-v kit." this drone comes with eight motors, propellers, a little captain, and plenty of lego bricks.
