    Play-Dohâ??s penis-shaped toy â??ruins Christmasâ??

    Someone fell asleep at the wheel here and will probably be looking for a new job in the new year. You know how the public reacts to these sorts of things. They were doing well until they tried to remove all history of the thing.

    Oops!

    Hasbro is in major damage control after releasing a toy part that looks very much like a penis.

    Attachment 52129

    Back in November, parents who bought the Sweet Shoppe Cake Mountain playset complained online that the plastic icing topper (or extruder) didn’t look child-friendly.

    Rather than respond on social media to the concerns, Hasbro sent parents less phallic-like replacement parts.

    The toy manufacturer’s low-key response ensure the gaffe stayed out of the media, Uproxx reports.

    However, in a bungled attempt at removing any trace of the offending accessory from its Facebook page over Christmas, Hasbro attracted lots of unintended publicity.

    People need to lighten up. There are tons of phallic looking toys out there, we just giggled like twelve year olds when the kids left the room.

    From here on out, if anyone ever asks me to talk dirty to them (which I hate), it will be referred to as "Icing topper (or extruder)".

    There are real cake decorating supplies that look like that. You might have some in your home right now. Obviously none of the complainers have ever decorated a cake or worked in a bakery.

    I LOL at the unintentionally penis-shaped cakes though. Like the princess castle birthday cake with pink and purple penis towers.

    Penises are funnier than vaginas. I don't know why. They just are.

    Years from now, some young woman will be telling her therapist "my life was RUINED by an oversized plastic penis on Christmas morning", and the therapist will bow her head gravely and sigh and think "God . . . I wish that would happen to me."

    Well, I once knew a militant lesbian all-girl punk group named "The Farting Vaginas". I thought that was pretty funny, especially since they shared a bill with "Generation Fuck".

    Exactly! People are always finding something to whine about these days. Geez.

    Ahahahahahaha!

    It seriously ruined Christmas? Geez, the kids probably didn't see it. Why get so uptight? I mean unless you plan on suing Hasbro for "pain and suffering." The kids wouldn't have noticed there was a problem until you pointed it out to them! Get your dirty minds out from underneath a kids play cake topper!

    Having something like that would probably make my Christmas. It's all about perspective.

    Ruined, I tell you.

    The moment I realized that my penis is shaped like...

    Just ruined Christmas it did.

    I may sue over those bastards copying a portion of my likeness without my permission.

    Can anybody say, "Class Action?"

    I would say the model is too small and sue for defamation of character as well.

    It does, and shame on us for knowing that. If you look at it that way it's a pretty hardcore sex toy.

    Some poor doctor has probably already had to removed it from someone that fell on it.

    *snerk!* I think it looks like a cross between a dildo and a butt plug.

    I think the technical term for these patients is GYPDOMERN, which is German for "get your play dough out of my emergency room NOW!"

    I heard about a guy in my hometown who went to the ER with a light bulb stuck where the sun don't shine. Seems he feared it would break when he tried to remove it.

    Ah yes, this was a plot point once in Scrubs. The Janitor saved the day with a new surgical procedure.
