this may well be the worst toy ever conceived . . .

[OneBlueSky]

hmmm . . . gonna have to do my Christmas shopping early . . .

[BlueJazz]

1. Geez...I'd love to force the people that......

..came up with this crap to give a demonstration of how the product works.

Except with a REAL .45 Magnum. :)

[Cush]

2. uhhh

WTF? Who the hell cames up with this?

[OneTwentyoNine]

3. Well....that and Lawn Darts...eom

[SoCalDem]

10. We still have a set of Jarts..in the box.

:)...hmmmmm..e-bay

[RebelOne]

4. That's unbelievable.

Great, let's show the kids how to kill themselves. I sure hope this toy isn't being sold in the U.S.

[Beaker]

5. to be fair...

it was originally marketed as a tampon inserter.

[MsUnderstood]

7. that was funny

Beaker's post, not the toy.

6. Is this from Deer Hunter Productions?

[waterman]

8. This reminds me of the early SNL days when Dan Ackroyd played

the deceptive, scammy toy manufacturer. I remember the "bag of crushed glass" toy.

[Beaker]

11. the Bag O' Glass...and the Johnny Spaceman Kit-

which consisted of a dry-cleaning bag and a rubber band...that was the guy I first thought of too.

12. LOL--wasn't some kind of firebug toy,little Johnny Arsonist or some such??

[asthmaticeog]

16. Johnny Human Torch!

And of course "Johnny Switchblade -- Action Punk."

Furious Googling has failed to yeild a transcript of that bit, but I know one's out there.

[CanuckAmok]

19. Johnny Invisible Pedestrian...

a black shirt and pants, with a yellow line stitched up the middle, from crotch to neck.

I think most of DU would agree with me!!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. Those darn Japanese!

What will they think of next?

14. Johnny's First Crossbow--single edge razor blade shooter

saw it on late night tv a long time ago. (Letterman? Carson?) Every year toy designers try to design the most dangerous toy as a joke. This was one of the winners

[mark0rama]

15. Actual toy designers do this?

That's almost as funny as it is sick. Do they build working prototypes?

[asthmaticeog]

17. Are you sure it's real...

... and not just a "Something Awful" type photoshop prankster having a goof? 'Cuz if it's real, I want one, just to prove to people it exists.

[Kamika]

18. I got an epileptic seizure just by watching the picture

I guess it's a good toy if you want to shoot out your eye or something
