Target. Home of good value, good lighting and good toys.

But who on earth thought it was a good idea to make, market and sell
"Baby's First Whip"?

Perhaps the same people who created the vibrating Harry Potter broom?

WTF? So wrong...

Hey, throw in a pair of toy police handcuffs, and you can have Baby's First BDSM Set!

[deirdre-c.livejournal.com]

Hee! This is because toy marketers are not utter PERVS like us, so they don't think that way. \o/

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

One of the playsets from this summer's Batman has the 'cuffs.

I saw them at Toys R Us yesterday.

[schmoo999.livejournal.com]

Why? All I can think if when I see this is all the things on my tables getting knocked off when my son whips this around..and his sisters screaming cause he is "whipping" them with this.

lol. Just not good:)

[marinarusalka.livejournal.com]

Throw in the vibrating broom and you're set to go!

[abigail89.livejournal.com]

Wrong. Just so very wrong.

*blink, blink*

Erm...

*blink, blink*

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Ow.

[annearchy.livejournal.com]

. . . . .

[takemejustasiam.livejournal.com]

ROTFLOL!!

I wonder how long it will take for them to yank it from the shelves.

[hathorx.livejournal.com]

Ooh, so now I know what's missing from my archaeology kit!

Totally have to get me one of those before my next dig... ;)

[here-be-dragons.livejournal.com]

OMG I am buying one of those as soon as I possibly can. I've been looking everywhere for something like this, but couldn't find it . . .

My friends' baby (she's about 14 month old now) is named Indigo, but her nickname is Indy. I so wanted to get something like this for her for Christmas or her birthday. I might have to give it to her as a random "just because I love you" present. This is awesome! :D :D :D

Now, I just need to find a baby-sized fedora.

Bwahahahahahaha!

[jiggery-pokery.livejournal.com]

O_, and, indeed, O.

[dream-wia-dream.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, that's just too hilarious. And it has SOUND EFFECTS? I want one now. hee hee hee.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Hee! But she might have more fun with the Tater of the Lost Ark version of Mister Potato Head?

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

I would recommend getting one soon - I'm not sure how long they'll survive in stores.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

With "whip-cracking sounds"!

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

It generates much blinking.

[likebunnies.livejournal.com]

I love it! It would go great with the vibrating broom we already own! Those stupid light sabers have done a lot of damage in my house, too, including breaking a ceiling fan. Marketing is always so brilliant!

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

It's from the "I'm Fucking Ben Affleck" video....

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

But even apart from that - who thought it was a good idea to sell something three feet long that little boys can hit people and things with?

MEEP!

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

I just...

Obviously, I wasn't wordless, but I was very O_O.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Totally!

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Absolutely.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

I kinda hope that the people who want them get a chance to buy them first. Or they move them to a higher shelf.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Plus, you can use it as a belt!

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Let me know if you see them on the shelves in the UK?

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

They seem to be in the Targets across Florida by now, so...

[misscake]

Probably grown-up men who were once little boys!

[lunalovegoddess.livejournal.com]

It was a tough call today at Kmart: Taters of the Lost Ark or Indy Sound FX Whip. In the end, we left with a package of Rainbow Twizzlers and Chocolate Malt Kisses.

[here-be-dragons.livejournal.com]

Hee! I didn't know that existed. Yeah, she'd probably like that a lot better. Very cool! :D :D :D

[nicocoer.livejournal.com]

. . . THAT'S FRWAKING AWESOME. *emails to the pregnant sister*

[roguebitch.livejournal.com]

I WANT IT TO GO WITH MY PLAYMOBIL LEATHERDADDY ACTION FIGURES.

I love it. For real. I don't think it's actually for kids.

[angelamermaid.livejournal.com]

That would totally go with Vibrating Han.

And - icon love!

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

My icon blows kisses at you!

You should totally get it.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Dean needs one, I think. I think Sam should get it for him as a "We Saved You From Hell!" giftie.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Sporfle.
I love how many people on my flist have icons with whips in them.

[roguebitch.livejournal.com]

Esp. since it comes with theme music. How much would Dean love *that*?

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Wibble. I think I need an icon - an animated one that presumes that the Deal was due on May 2, which includes the movie posters from Iron Man, Indy 4 and Batman "2" and says something like, "Dean Winchester doesn't want to go to hell. If he does, he'll miss... Batman, Iron Man, Indiana Jones 4 and that new Friday the Thirteenth film."

: looks around for icon-makers

[roguebitch.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

OMGyes. I hope your icon hookups are much better than mine. I want to see that.

[zorb]

Setting the clock to time how long it takes a kid to get sent home from school for bringing one of those to play with...

[sistermagpie.livejournal.com]

OMG. Yay.

[bekkio.livejournal.com]

I'm just wondering what the warning label says...

"CAUTION: Whip is not actually designed to use as a whip"

[jayabear.livejournal.com]

"Hold whip handle. Do not aim at people or yourself. Do not get wet. Use only in wide open areas away from breakable objects,"

(No I don't have one, I read it off the image.)
