What the fuck is up with all those warnings...

What ever happened to careless parents and toy companies... now they worry if the toy's pieces are too big or too small, too hard or too soft...

For christ's sake, back in the day when I was a kid we would get wood burning kits! Sharp metal rods that heated up to 300 fucking degrees! Let me tell you none of my dogs had tags but everyone recognized them!

We would get lawn darts! Big 10 pound darts that came in a pack of 8 with no instructions at all! You would throw them in the air and watch them land... let me tell you something if you ever recieved one on the head you would be getting coloring books for christmas, the rest of your life!

Heck chemistry kits... they were always fun...: "MOM! Jonny put amonium sulfate in my eye!" "Tell him to stop! Go play with the wood-burning kit or the mini-bikes and BB guns!"


Ahhh the good ol' days!

I was 13 when they banned firecrackers in my area. Just old enough to fully appreciate them. Fuckers who make lists like that have been spoiling peoples fun for years.

Pretty soon the only thing that will be safe for children to play with will be a straight jacket in a padded cell whilst tranquilized.

Said pretty bluntly but I agree!

It's not because it's called "Sharp pointy things that takes eyes out" by MATEL that it's dangerous...

It's because your kid is dumb enough to stick it down his throat or up his nose! COME ON! LAWN DARTS! Where were the guys that made this list back in my day! Didnt we lose alot of geniuses with those god forsaken things... :no:

wait a second... how does a person ingest a pull along fire truck? And how does a helicopter cause eye injuries? And how is a blunt impact dangerous?

Notice the name on the helocopter: Air Hogs Spy Commander Helicopter. :brow:

Kids will be kids, and leaving the chopper in the bathroom on will be one of the first things on his "spying" list.

The rythm thingys hazard was from a bracelet for the infants wrist that came with it that had tiny round bells on it that came off easily and choke them. That one was actually logical. Unless they didnt com off at al and tehy just said it because they thought it could come off someday.
