Worst toy ever?

[Orrex]

At a local KMart recently I spotted a plastic, gun-like toy with a silver-gray handle, a yellow push-button, a yellow slide-button, and a clear plastic tip enclosing a pair of small lights. When the button is pushed, the lights blink and the whole thing vibrates while emitting a sort of "zapping" sound. The user can change the intensity/frequency of the sound by using the slider bar.

What is this fun toy, you might ask? Why, it's Junior's first taser.

I'm not a big foe of toy guns. I mean, I had a ton of them when I was a child and grew up without becoming a sadist or a Conservative (though I repeat myself). Still, this particular toy struck me as especially troubling, given the recent over-enthusiastic use of the taser by some members of the law enforcement profession.

Has anyone else seen this fun toy? What are your thoughts?

1. Haven't seen it! Is it supposed to be some

type of space gun?

2. No! It's meant as an actual toy version of a taser!

I think it might even be called "Tazer" or the like, but I'll need to check.

6. I think the worst toy ever

was the Barbie type doll that when you twisted her arm her boobs grew. She didn't last long on the market.

7. Now THAT'S an innovative product

They should make one whose arms grow when you press her boobs.

8. I remember that doll. It was Growing Up Skipper.

I had one when I was about ten.
