Haven't you heard? Sex is taboo in these parts of the world.

Can't really figure that out either. If my 3 year old figured out it kinda looked like his wiener, he'd laugh. That's it. He'd laugh and forget about it and go on playing. Kids don't care.

Holy crap that's awesome. I remember wanting that thing, but I never got one.

You know, it really makes you think about childhood, and life in general. When I was a kid, a toy called a "Fuzzy Pumper" was something I didn't even consider funny. Now, the first thing I did was laugh at the innuendo when I saw that box. I actually laughed out loud. I hate to admit it, but I must have been a pretty stupid kid to miss out on that one. It's embarrassing.

Anyway, I checked ebay because now I want one, and the pickings are slim. Some heartless jerk is trying to pass off the "Dr. Mad Makes Hairy Scary Monsters" as the original "Fuzzy Pumper", but it's totally not the same thing.

There are a couple "ad sheets" (whatever those are) for the Fuzzy Pumper, but those are lame. A Fred Flintsone Fuzzy Pumper Mould exists, but that's no good either.

Sears made a "Play-Doh Winnie The Pooh Hunny Pumper", and that's a thing I might make a bid on. Not quite the same, but good for a different reason. I don't know what that reason is, or if I do, I'm not telling, but it's good.

Yet Guns, grenades and violent toys are fine? :-/

What is wrong with Barbie? It is a toy in the image of female. Special interests groups love stating that it is bad image for girls. Again, someone with a loud voice states something and the general public listens. Barbie is an easy target since it is such an iconic brand from a large corporation.

Well, what about action figures for boys? They have buffed out superhero physiques. Why are there no special interest groups complaining about how their boy cannot achieve muscles like Superman?

The problem is not the toy, video game, or other forms of entertainment, the problem is poor parenting.

The problem is oversimplification, which you've just accomplished again

Lol.

Loved the Fuzzy Pumper as a kid. Solid Play-Doh set.

I distinctly remember my mom taking it away when I loaded it Betty Crocker frosting, and Miracle Whip one time.
