Saw this over at etoys.com:

Start em' out, young, I says, so they can help granny pull the levers while she changes out her oxygen tank!

I know, these have been around forever, and I think I wanted one from the Sears catalog when I was but a wee lad in short pants. ("For ages 8 and up!") But as a dad now I look at that and wonder, what were they thinking? aren't there some parts of life we just want to keep away from our kids for a decent interval?

What's next? What kind of real-life toys are on their way?
Vito the Debt Collector action figure with audible leg-snapping feature?
Lil' Snuggles Happy Hash Pipe?
Pimp characters for the Bratz dolls?
Flophouse Atlantic City Canopy Bed, with Realistic Junkie-barf Stains?
Lil' Tykes Jiggle & Giggle Stripper Pole?
Holly Hobby I-can-mix-it Tequila Bar?
Grope & Fumble Make-believe Frat Party?
Barbie Planned Parenthood Clinic?

Never mind, don't tell me what's next. I know I won't like it.
