Just saw this Harry Potter toy. Anyone want to read the reviews and guess why it is so popular?
On a serious note, is sexualizing children becoming mainstream? I think back to the thong underwear that was recently marketed for pre-pubescent girls?
What the hell is going on here?
And here is why.:wally
I was amused when I was thinking the number of Darwin awards this toy would get.
The rest, ehh.
You can get 90$ personal massagers from Sharper Image, or buy a cheap one from Spensers gifts.
Huh? How does this toy kill or sterilize people?
Cause blindness, maybe…

So it’s her fault for which: that she didn’t know everything that goes on in your life or that you couldn’t use the search engine?
Yeah, I ain’t no putz! “A day late and a dollar short” isn’t a deadly insult where I come from-- it’s more of a joking way of pointing out that someone isn’t up to speed (hence the link to the MPSIMS thread).
Anyway, this may just be because I’m not a parent, but I think the whole thing is a hoot. I don’t think it’s sexualizing children-- lots of toys vibrate. That this one does, too, doesn’t mean it was ever intended for sexual use (though maybe its creators didn’t exactly think things through).

In case any of you were wondering.

Yeah, I probably took that the wrong way. See, I took it as some snotty terse way to sound superior, where as I am sure that the idea that was intended was to politely convey that this topic had already been broached.
November 1. Ahem. It’s on my wish list

Quiddich anal beads. Bwaahaaaaa!
The Golden Snatch.
Holy crap, there must be a market for this stuff!
WTF??
Amazon decided to pull some of the comments. The line about the 17 year old daugter is gone . . .
this comes with official Mugwump scopolamine jam, right?
