OMG :shocked:

[Twoboos]

OMG!! :47: What toy company would ever think that's a good idea?????

[wellyes]

I am guessing that is not a photo from the US or Canada, or anywhere with English as a first language.

O.M.G. Wow, and I thought that a group of women was trying to get pole dancing in the Olympics was ridiculous....

[wimama]

OMG! I looked through all the worst toys. Amazing stuff, Wow!

[HallsofVA]

How about the breastfeeding doll? It amazes me what folks come up with.

[tnrnchick74]

The breast feeding doll, killer Elmo, and racial slur baby dolls??? O.M.G.

[kayte]

As someone who would purchase the breastfeeding doll in a flat second, I am floored by the pole dancer doll. I could not resist sending link to the picture and ask my sister if my niece might want one though.... :)

WTF?

And the animal pops? Did you watch the video? Jeez. I guess we all have to learn how to french kiss our zebra's eventually.

And as a PP said, that breast feeding doll blew my mind. Because you shouldn't have to wait until you have breasts before you start breastfeeding your baby. The HP says, "We think you should." And that's cuz ... YOU SHOULD. Terrible, appalling toy for a child. It's clearly European, but ... SO WHAT?!

[Melaine]

I don't get the Elmo with death threats!....and the company never responded?!?!

Am I the only one who thought the thumb war ring was kind of cool?

[MamaMolly]

Gotta say I personally thought the PlayMobil Security Check Point was fan-freakin'-tastic. :ROTFLMAO: but we are frequent flyers, so that probably explains it.

As for the rest? :eek:

[Globetrotter]

I loved the security check point as we also travel a lot, but the rest... :6:

Who buys these things????

I don't mind the Breastfeeding doll as much, but I wouldn't buy it. They can always just pretend nurse without "flowers" for the baby to suck on!!

I need the Tarzan doll. I feel it will help save me from the "miracle of life" conversation many years in the future.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Who comes UP with these ideas?! And gets *paid*?!

[ncat]

DH and the kids would like the fish preparation set - but I have no idea where to find one...

[Corie]

Thanks for thinking of me! Especially when you see a pole dancer
baby doll. :)

[Kitten007]

Thanks for sharing! It's amazing what companies will make. I just about died with the Tarzan doll.
