Outrage over 'choke the chicken' toy

THE RSPCA said it was outraged a toy dubbed "choke the chicken" being sold to young children that encourages them to squeeze the dancing chicken's neck until it flaps around.

"This so-called toy sends out completely the wrong message to children," the RSPCA's Queensland spokesman Michael Beatty said.



The toy is manufactured by a Taiwanese company, The Dahyang toy Industrial Company Limited, and is widely available in electrical stores across Australia and online through eBay. It is marketed for children over the age of three.

The wording on the side of the box said: "Grab and lift him up by the neck as he dances.

"He will squawk and cluck like mad, flapping his wings and feet wildly as if he's gagging and choking."

Mr Beatty said "he would like to think he has a sense of humour" but "this is just plain sick".

Damn, I hope this catches on

BRUTALLY HONEST PERSONALS

Some classic stuff here, including the guy who describes himself as "a thirty-year-old virgin on the verge of giving up on love. When I do have a job, it's low paying, and credit consolidators take half of what I earn. I'm behind on my rent, emotionally closed, and take medication to treat my depression. I'm short, not that attractive, a little fat, and have a very small penis. I also have a problem with excessive farting" or the "I am a grossly overweight, divorced single mother with more issues than The National Enquirer."

Just genius.

Snakes. On a goddam plane.

Snakes.

Snakes on a mother fuckin' plane.

And there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

So watch yourself the next time you board a jetliner.

THIS is gonna be the greatest movie ever made.



(And, it has to be said, the IMDB forums on this movie are absolutely hysterical.)

And I totally want one of the T-shirts.
