hehe reminds me of OLD SNL skit with Dan Aykroyd as Irwin Mainway with his various "toys" for kids... Johnny Switchblade, a plastic dry cleaning bag and my personal favorite:

Nothing says, "Merry Christmas" (oops. I mean, "Welcome to the Emergency Room"

like the following toy description:

"Children as young as five years of age are encouraged to shoot 'arrows' over thirty feet with "3 power settings"! Despite the "soft tips" on the ammunition, the arrows are catapulted by the crossbow at high velocity, and users are cautioned not to 'aim at eyes or face'."

"Three power settings," nonetheless.

how about this one

This Star Wars "Blaster" includes two pressurized "energy beam string canisters". The toy is sold with numerous warnings and cautions, including "Do not leave in direct sunlight or store in hot vehicle", since doing so can "cause can to burst violently." [favorite part] Children as young as five years old are further warned not to spray the canister's contents in eyes or faces

Just the gift for the yuppie asshat's kid at work that I dislike so much.

Muhahahahahaha

- God I would LIVE to see Xmas morning when they open these things.

From: someone

FANTASTIC 4 ELECTRONIC THING HANDS Price: $17.83

Manufacturer or Distributor:
Toy Biz

Purchased: Wal Mart (too bad I don't shop at Wal Mart)

Age Recommendation:
“Ages 6 & Up”

Warnings: "Do not strike any person, pet or inanimate object with Thing Hands as serious injury could result" and other warnings.

HAZARD: POTENTIAL FOR BLUNT IMPACT INJURIES!

W.A.T.C.H. OUT! These oversized fists, resembling those of a popular comic book and movie character, are sold to enable six year olds to "smash!" and "crash!" just like the "super strong creature." Remarkably, at the same time children are encouraged to engage in "clobberin time!", parents are warned that the toy is "intended to be used only for dress-up fantasy play", and that "serious injury could result" should it be used to strike a person or pet.

So that Star Wars blaster sprays silly string? That's the best toy ever!

Kids today, they get all the best stuff, they have much better cartoons, and now they have Star Wars items that spray silly string. Bah.

Mind you, if I was a parent, no child of mine would be getting that at all. That's a sabotage present, one you give to the children of people you don't like because you know they'll annoy their parents with it. Like an electronic drum kit or something.

one of my favorite sabotage gifts for small children is this:

(strangely, I couldn't remember what that was called, so I asked a co-worker - and she had one in her car!)
