I've never seen A Christmas Story (I know, how very un-American of me) but I can hear the "you'll shoot your eye out" line playing on a loop in my head now...

I know you've never seen it but my wife got me one of those lady leg lamps for my night stand.

The gun's parent web site makes no age claims on the item. If some idiot retailer is pushing this for 3year olds that's the retailer's fault and if some parent buys this for a 3 year old that's their fault!

Oh.. just in case I didn't make myself clear before: You can pry my gun from my cold, dead fingers!

MM - I've never seen the whole movie but I have seen all the highlight clips so I do know what you're talking about.

Expat47 - that's a nice theory but you know the manufacturer would get sued if some dumbass parent let their toddler play with this and the kid got hurt

Ok, I went through all of these toys, and I don't really see a big problem with the toys themselves. What I have a problem with is parents who allow their children to play with these toys unsupervised. What ever happened to personal responsibility??? I check all my 2-year-old's toys for any loose parts or anything I think could be dangerous.

Jules - how have you never seen A Christmas Story?? I know what I'm getting you for Christmas!

Just don't get it mixed up with A Christmas Whorey. "I'll shoot your eye out"

Parody porns are the best! I recently purchased Carolina Jones (as opposed to Indiana Jones)...haven't watched it yet though.

I thought toys were to occupy the kids while the parents run up to the locale liquor store and play video poker for several hours. Is that not good!

Yikes, let me know if there is a "Short Round" character. Also, does she use a whip?

I LOVE Parody Porns!!!! Yet another thing we have in common, Jules. 😊

There was that girl that died outside Fenway from getting shot directly into the eyeball with a "non-lethal" weapon...probably a case of must-have-been-her-time-to-go

Not saying it was. And I'm sure the police version has a lot more power than the toy version so less danger to the kiddo's. Either way, if you're going to give a kid something that shoots projectiles they should probably be supervised while using it. Unless it's Nerf, I think there still a few of those in my parents basement with the Super Soakers.
