Big Grin Girls potty over Potter broomstick
from a newpaper article
Quote:
A toy firm has axed a vibrating replica of Harry Potter's broomstick after mums complained their daughters spent too long riding it.
Makers Mattel advertised the battery-operated toy as having "a groved stick and handle for easy riding".
One mum in New Jersy, US, said "What were they thinking of?"
Another in Ohio told how her 12-year-old daughter played with the broomstick for hours.
She said "She likes its special effects - so does her 17-year-old sister".
doh how stupid are the Mattel people. Vibrating stick you put between your legs. I mean comon.
Advertise it as a vibrator why don't you.

LOL, that is funny. But wasn't there a similar story on console game controllers?
I can see that now. Girls in trouble after moms suspect wrong doing when their daughters played only off road or jump heavy games

Another marvelled that her daughter's friends also love playing with the toy: "I was surprised at how long they can just sit in her room and play with this magic broomstick," Mum confides.
Hmmm i wonder what they could be doing...
