Devon Gibbons Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 viewer discretion, depicts self harm - fake blood, a bit scary still. I find this disturbing, but funny. I will learn from this. The calligraphy of the product's name looked just like normal princess-y type of writing. To be honest, I might have made the same mistake, assuming it was foreign it could have even been some weird translation error. The mother did make herself an excuse, but I thought she was pretty much off the hook. We didn't see that she showed responsibility, regret, or empathy to her children for buying them something terrible, though. Maybe her kids didn't respond much to it, but I don't know. If you have children, please don't buy them evil sticks. What age of child is the toy suitable for- do you think a 10-year-old like the shop-keeper said? I kind of think that that's just some fucked up shit and the shopkeeper is a psychopath if he thinks any children or adult thinks that would be a fun toy to play with. I bet he'd keep them in his shop if she was the only one complaining, he seems like he'd do that, and looks like he kind of wants to. I was thinking of going into a Babys-R-Us to see the fucked up toys that are marketed to children actually earlier today, maybe that's what peaked my interest in writing this- anywho.. Wtf would you do if you discovered you sold some demonic device peddled to children from your store? What are some terrible toys you've seen marketed to children or have received?

Wuzzums Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 "I wanna know how they think that is a suitable toy for a child!" As outrageous as it may seem: the same way you found that toy suitable for a child. How do these people even managed to learn speech? I'm absolutely amazed, it's like a miracle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when they were younger their parents put the blame on other people for their own mistreatment of their children. So this lady grew up thinking that other people were responsible for her child's well-being. It's like a type of entitlement training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tritonx Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 This is hilarious. Let's not forget this is the 1$ store, they have a lot of weird stuff. It's called "EVILSTICK", that level of comedy is way above this mom's intellect. The worst thing here is that the media get along with this stupid story. The "evil" picture is obviously a setup and not a real girl cutting herself, there was more scary monsters in kids movie during the 90s. If there was demonic device peddling to my children I'd make sure to get all of them, 1$ what a deal !!! I wouldn't want them to turn to the righteous side, those people are so boring.

nathanm Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I know that I expect the merchandise of the Dollar Store to adhere to the market's highest standards possible for product design, sturdy construction, suitability for a given task, sustainably-sourced materials and quality control combined with a good 10 year warranty. To see such a poor quality wrist-slashing photograph on an Evil Stick is certainly not what we've come to expect from such a boutique merchant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
