2005's "10 Worst Toys" List

"W.A.T.C.H.'s annual "10 Worst Toys" list nominates representative toys with the potential to cause childhood injuries, or even death. W.A.T.C.H.'s annual "Toy Conference" has generated extensive national press and media coverage. Because of these efforts, and the positive response from both the media and the public, there have been many toy and product design changes. Founder Edward M. Swartz and W.A.T.C.H. have fearlessly exposed potentially dangerous toys to the general public. As a result, children’s lives have been saved."

First of all, if you bought something like this for your kid, you shouldn't have kids to begin with. Secondly, The manufacturer recommends knee pads, elbow pads, gloves, and a helmet. Just look at that kid in the picture. Safety first, kids!

Yes folks, it's true. There's nothing wrong with buying your 5 year old a crossbow that shoots "soft tip arrows" up to thirty feet. "Hey mom, it even has 3 power settings!!"

*recommended for families that still hunt for their food*

Ok, let me stop laughing first. This manufacturer even encourages children to engage in "clobberin' time!" They look like the ass ends of a Tiki god if you ask me.
