This article was hilarity to me. Firstly: the thing was only in the online toys and games section of the tescos site. Games would cover all things eg board games for ADULTS as well as kids toys. It is obviously an ADULT toy and labelled as such.

What would a 6 year old be doing on a web site buying things?

Worse: what sort of dense parent would buy this thing for their kid?

Won't someone think of the ~~children~~ fatteys who will try this out and break it in half and hurt themselves, haha.

I love that photo of the sad family as well. WTF? Are they all depressed because they bought one and it didn't come with a stripper.

I like this quote: "This should only be available to the most depraved people who want to corrupt their children."

Okay, so it should be, then? If you're depraved, then it's a-okay.

Mrs Gallimore, 33, of Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, said yesterday: "I'm no prude, but any children can go on there and see it."

uh yeah... the sort of kids who go to websites of grocery stores...

"Unleash the sex kitten inside...simply extend the Peekaboo pole inside the tube, slip on the sexy tunes and away you go!
"Soon you'll be flaunting it to the world and earning a fortune in Peekaboo Dance Dollars".

IT's A DAILY MAIL ARTICLE YOU GUYS!!!

If they were making pre-nipple tassels for four year olds as well then I might start getting worried, maybe, but this is just newspapers trying to fill pages.

dere sir. i am outraged. it's enough to make me want to leave the country and never come back. i mean. why should i have to breathe the same oxygen as these imbeciles who don't get the notion of "adult toys"?

i ask you. jesus wept. etc.

also: even by the mail's low standards, this is a non-story. it's like a viz spoof. (only slightly funnier.)
