  • Dirty Mind...?

    This is an excerpt from a Wall Street Journal article about the Mattel toy recall:

    "Mattel Inc. (MAT) and regulators in the U.S. and Canada announced the recall of more than 11 million Fisher-Price toys, including some 7.2 million tricylces, saying they pose safety dangers.

    The Fisher Price Trikes and Tough Trikes toddler tricycles can cause 'serious injury, including genital bleeding' if a child strikes, sits or falls 'on the protruding plastic ignition key' of the product, said a statement announcing the recall.

    Also being recalled are almost 3 million inflatable balls, part of a half-dozen products, 1.1 million high chairs and 120,000 car-ramp sets. The balls and cars reflect choking hazards while the high chairs have a laceration risk."

    For some reason when I got to the second paragraph my mind went straight into the gutter. Maybe it had something to do with the "genital bleeding" and "protruding key". And then it goes on to talk about balls being a choking hazard... oh geeze =_=

    So here we have what I would consider suggestive material in a professional journal environment. Now I don't think that the example I just gave is the worst case, but don't you think that there are some jokers out there that are inserting dirty humor into the news covertly? Of course, it may just be that the persons writing the story don't realize the alternative meanings to some of the things that they write. In any case, it certainly makes reading the articles more interesting.

     

    We'll just consider this a warm-up post. I've got a lot more to write about my many wonderful adventures of life but I'll wait until later this evening to post. lol
    PEACE~!
