This is a joke, right?

[Romulox]

1. You can shave the baby!!!

:wow:

[Romulox]

6. Apparently, this one is a piece of art, not a toy...

From the same artist:

Lego Concentration camp



Link not entirely safe for work...

23. Do you know what photo he based Workers on?

I know it, it's in the back of my mind, but I can't seem to come up with the original photo.

[woo me with science]

7. I like the commentary that's posted with this one:

"So many questions...
1) Why does this baby have so much pubic hair?
2) Why does this baby have hair suspenders?
3) Why does this baby have hairy ankles?

Bottom line: Most babies don't need shaving and encouraging that is creepy."

:rofl:

[Romulox]

10. "Why does this baby have hairy ankles?" Literally LOL! nt

[pipi_k]

13. MOST babies don't need shaving...

Yeah, that one was hilarious... :7

And the hairy baby itself...bwahahahah

It looks like that hairy little kid on the "Capital One" commercial who tells his dad that his mom said "The boys have to go..."

[MineralMan]

16. I'm sure Rush Limbaugh did, though.

[pipi_k]

24. Yech. Nothing worse than a fur-covered asshole...

:puke:

[PDJane]

2. I wish.

I've actu ally heard of or seen most of those toys.....It's absolutely repulsive, imho.

[Mosby]

30. I completely agree

some of the products make for a funny joke or two, but issues like the sexualization of children is very serious.

[tridim]

3. I guess the "Bag of Glass" is finally off the market.

[ladywnch]

17. I remember that one.. I guess we've both just dated ourselves! LOL

[deutsey]

26. Wasn't that on SNL, with Dan Ackroyd playing that sleazy character he used to play?

He also promoted the Halloween costume called "Johnny Human Torch," or something like that. It consisted of oily rags and a lighter. :evilgrin:

[tridim]

29. I'm pretty sure it was Ackroyd.. Been looking for the video and I can't find it.

I think all the SNL videos are removed from youtube. Why? No idea.

I'm also reminded of Joel Hodegson's (MST3K) stand up skit with the baby-doll that transforms into a gun. :)

[Saphire]

40. Yup, Ackroyd. LOLZ

[eppur_se_muova]

32. Irwin Mainway of Mainway Toys!

http://snltranscripts.jt.org/76/76jconsumerprobe.phtml

Consumer Reporter: So, you don't feel that this product is dangerous?

Irwin Mainway: No! Look, we put a label on every bag that says, "Kid! Be careful - broken glass!" I mean, we sell a lot of products in the "Bag O'" line.. like Bag O' Glass, Bag O' Nails, Bag O' Bugs, Bag O' Vipers, Bag O' Sulfuric Acid. They're decent toys, you know what I mean?

[tridim]

42. Ahhh the good old days, when dangerous toys were still made in America.

[woo me with science]

46. Heh heh.

[ThatsMyBarack]

44. Good times. Good times.

When SNL was funny.

[woo me with science]

4. This was in the Lounge, and someone added another good one.

:shrug:

[woo me with science]

28. ...

:rofl:

[NikolaC]

31. LOL

:rofl:

[Solly Mack]

5. There's now a fun way to tell someone you've given them a STD

I got something for you because I gave something to you. Here, have a STD plushie!

(DAYUM)

[booley]

33. I gave some of those to my neices and nephew

Their moms loved it.

They're educational.

[TxRider]

41. Are these all from Europe or Asia?

I've certainly not seen them here..

[Solly Mack]

43. I haven't seen them in stores.

[T Wolf]

8. Calling Irwin Mainway. Your profits are on Line Two. nt

[sofa king]

11. The stuffed STDs are my favorite.

Reminds me of that Chapelle Show gag.

[pipi_k]

14. Mine too...they're really cute

And who wouldn't want the chance to teach their kids about the dangers of STDs...

:7

[Veruca Salt]

21. +2

I would totally get them and LOL omg that just sounds so very wrong!

[arendt]

49. They are a subset of a line of biology toys

http://www.5clickstore.com/iawareables/directory.cfm?CategoryID=10

The toys are to promote disease awareness, and are used as mascots in science laboratories.

Leave it to mouthbreathers of all political stripes to go into convulsions - like they haven't seen nine times worsse on prime time TV.

[waiting for hope]

12. I thought these were hideous when I first saw them:

Nothing like tarting up your baby ... :crazy:

[pipi_k]

15. Well my first thought was...

that little shit has nicer shoes than I do!

[Vinca]

37. That's seriously disturbing.

[Zywiec]

20. LOVE Happy Fun Ball.

I've had mine for years. Never had a problem with it. Well, there was that ONE time...but nobody sued.

[MiniMe]

19. Ok, some of these are just sick

VD plushies?




"My child has herpes!" If that's something you'd like to yell without your child actually being infected with a venereal disease then these plushies are for you...you weirdo.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

22. Fun Thread

My BF bought a stuffed, plush Cthulu doll for me not too long ago and I think I love him more than any toy I ever had as a girl (the Cthulu...or is it the BF?...maybe both?).

[GreenPartyVoter]

25. I used to stick my baby dolls up my shirt all the time to nurse them. I was a preschooler and

was just copying my mom feeding my baby brother. I don't think that's necessarily as weird or damaging as some of the other stuff, like the pole dancer doll.

[BigBluenoser]

38. Agreed...

I find this toy to be very "non-creepy" and I have seen kids whose mom's are breastfeeding a real baby sibling of theirs do this in play.

More a problem with a tendency for sexualizing everything in some segments of modern society than a problem with a rather innocent toy.

Shave the baby is frakked up tho :)

[NeedleCast]

27. I find almost all of these toys to be incredibly amusing

I'm so getting my nephew a fake tattoo machine.

[omega minimo]

34. People are stupid.

[Initech]

35. They must have to pay extra for baby's first VIP room.

[woo me with science]

36. Remember the Jesus light switch for the nursery?

[TahitiNut]

39. "He is risen!"

:rofl:

[ThatsMyBarack]

45. The pole-dancing doll has a '60s hairdo.

Wonder why that is...

[woo me with science]

47. It's Marlo Thomas!

"Free to Be You and Me..."

:rofl:

[backscatter712]

48. We should expand to inappropriate video games...

Let's start with Barbie's Cosmetic Surgery Makeover!!!
