Default Play-Doh controversy

Toy guns are fine and are given freely to kids. Yet a toy with a remote phallic resemblance causes parents to lose their minds.

Parents with dirty minds ruining perfectly fine children's toys?

"Completely ruined our Christmas" ???

Ugh, people like that are the worst. If something this minor completely ruins your Christmas, your Christmas was ####ty anyway.

If it ruined their Christmas, it kind of suggests that she was afraid that her daughter would know what it resembled.

In which case, one would have to wonder how she would know at that age.

It does look like a dildo, but I like the mother in that post saying it ruined their Christmas. I doubt the kid knows or gives two ####s that their toy moderately resembles a sex toy.

Are bananas and Popsicles off the table too. Do you which foods are shaped like dicks? The best kinds.

There's something hilariously awesome about the ellipsis immediately following the word "their" and preceding the picture of the phallic Play-Doh toy. "... because my daughters LOVE play-doh and their new... [picture of penis toy]".

Really though, parents with hyperactive imaginations and society's beloved taboo about anything that might be even remotely sexual at work once again.

Ridiculous.

Here's a news flash - your kids have been eating dicks for a while...

The things parents will complain about. "Oh god it resembles a penis, let's freak out". It's a part of the human anatomy, we don't need to act like it's something wrong or terrible.

Unless "Kid's First Heroin Addiction" was in the box, it probably isn't enough to ruin Christmas.

And obviously this woman has never decorated a cake with a plastic decorator. I have professional ones in my cupboard that look like that. It is how they look. My kid has even used one and I don't think she's a sex addict or scarred for life now.

Agreed that the whole "ruined my Christmas" is a bit much, but who the heck designed this and then who the heck approved it? Someone in the background is having a great laugh.

It's a syringe. If anything, the designs on the side may have been included to prevent it from looking phallic. I can't imagine they serve any functional purpose.

My little guy got this set for Christmas. His mother and I giggled when we saw that piece but he doesn't see the resemblance and he likes playing with it. That mother who posted that is a total idiot.

Let's forget about the kids of those two police officers who were slain in nyc, or the families who had members on that air Asia flight,- lets focus on this woman's tradgedy. Perhaps we can start a trust fund for here children.......

Jennifer turner, you are a little mellow dramatic, and a friiggen idiot....please stay away from the Internet and help rid the world of any phallic shapes.........

I feel sorry for the adults who mistook this for "male genitalia"

That's hilarious!
