Why Hacker News points people here: HN commenters link it as the origin of a LEGO quote and as a delightful monologue about how the toy has changed.

"What happened with Legos, they used to be simple. Oh come on, I know you know what I'm talking about, Legos were simple. Something happened out here while I was inside. Harry Potter Legos, Star Wars Legos, complicated kits, tiny little blocks. I mean I'm not saying its bad I just wanna know what happened." this video
