Greetings one and all.
What exactly would you consider a toy that is inappropriate for children?
Obviously everyone has their own perspective on this matter, but opinions seem to be very wide ranging and dependent on your own social proclivities.
While wandering around the Canal Walk Game store I stumbled across a real gem of a toy that made the hair on my neck stand up and do the salsa.
You want an example of a bad children’s toy? Here it is! *SHIIIING*
Personally I suppose I was raised in a pretty traditional sense in regards to toys. Amongst my bevy of playthings I had army soldiers, cap guns, water pistols, plastic swords and an assortment of other action figures (He-man, Dino Riders…etc).
Many families ban their children from playing with these kinds of toys and rather try and shift their focus to things like Lego, Micro-Machines and Bob the Builder. Which as I’m sure you will agree are a tad on the safer side compared to what I grew up playing with.
The item that I mentioned earlier that freaked me out was a plastic knife. Now I had all sorts of knives, swords, axes…whatever, when I was younger, but you must take a closer look at this sick frigging dagger. Basically it’s a floppy plastic dagger filled with a red blood-like liquid that squishes around the blade beneath a thin transparent plastic layer.
It is an absolutely diabolical looking thing that should shock the hell out of any normal parent. Who in the heck would let their young child play with such a malicious item…the Adams family, that’s who! Bad children’s toy indeed 
The funny thing is that I found this dagger, haphazardly strewn between cutesy Handy Manny and Barney the dinosaur. SERIOUSLY!
What is this bizarre section of toys? You can stroke your pretty dolls hair, build a fun little farmhouse with a bright chunky screwdriver….oh yes and of course gut some hapless person!
WoW! Seriously, this is one mega dumbass manoeuvre from the Canal Walk Game store.
Get with the program boys and girls. Take this insane item off your shelves NOW!
This is a “toy” that you would at best find in a costume novelty store, not the children’s isle of a Game store.
Yes I’m ranting. Do I feel it’s necessary?
CERTAINLY!
Do you have another example of a bad children’s toy? I’d love to see it!
