W.A.T.C.H., the World Against Toys Causing Harm organization, has just released its "10 Worst Toys" of the season list.
I thought the entries were mundane at best. Seriously, this is number 4? Alright, so buying pointy toys is probably not the best strategy for raising children.
But, do you remember what we played with as children? I do.
Ahh yeah. The Sit N Spin. The spin-until-you-can't-see-straight-then-get-up-and-run-into-something-like-a- coffee-table-or-grandma super fun toy. I sustained so many head injuries from the intoxicating effects of this wondrous device. And you know what? They still sell these fuckers. My child will have one.
You know what else we had? Lawn Darts. GI Joe toys that fired eye-piercing missiles. Playgrounds built on concrete. It was Darwinism at its best.
Those were the days.
To all the people who have a bluetooth headset and insist on wearing it all the time:
You are not an astronaut, you are not a stockbroker, you are not flight control. You are not important enough to have a headset thingie. Trust me.
And yes, I am looking at you like a retard when you (apparently) start talking to yourself. I can't tell when you pick up your phone, jackass. You look like a crazy person.
Also, wearing these things makes you lose all sense of social norms because the conversations you have on them ARE WAY LOUDER THAN ANY CONVERSATION SHOULD BE.
