4. That's unbelievable.

Great, let's show the kids how to kill themselves. I sure hope this toy isn't being sold in the U.S.

8. This reminds me of the early SNL days when Dan Ackroyd played

the deceptive, scammy toy manufacturer. I remember the "bag of crushed glass" toy.

14. Johnny's First Crossbow--single edge razor blade shooter

saw it on late night tv a long time ago. (Letterman? Carson?) Every year toy designers try to design the most dangerous toy as a joke. This was one of the winners

15. Actual toy designers do this?

That's almost as funny as it is sick. Do they build working prototypes?
