Because of the new federalista-environmentalist war on light bulbs, the traditional Easy-Bake Oven is in a hot spot. The incandescent light bulb that cooked the cakes for millions of aspiring bakers will be phased out (read: forcefully banned) in 2012, so Hasbro has made a major announcement: “We are aware that the 100-watt incandescent light [...]
