I'd hit for it

What the fark is a Zhu Zhu?

Wow, they're not even trying any more.

Hamster Assassinator 3000?

They should have just bought one of my ebay auctions.

This toy is useless by itself. You need the funnel and tube accessories to complete the set.

I'm waiting until january or so to pick one up as a cat toy.

Peace on Earth, and goodwill towards Man.

But kill that f*cker who took the last Zhu Zhu and stomp on their face until your shoes turn red...

I love humanity...

It's not as much fun with the robotic Jeremy Clarkson, though.

Here you go folks, here's the new toy you're supposed to go crazy over.

NOW DANCE, my little puppets! DANCE FOR ME OR YOUR KIDS WILL HATE YOU! MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

*ahem*

I mean...

no actually that is what I meant. :P

Never heard of the thing until I read the newspaper this morning. Have no idea what those things look like.

We had a police incident here too, at a Toys R Us.

Parents will do anything for a toy their kids will only play with for 10 minutes before finding a cardboard box to make into a fort.

There was some guy in line outside a Toys 'R' Us in Kansas City this morning apparently threatening people with a knife. Toy stores always seem to bring out the holiday spirit in some people.

 
Suede head 2009-11-27 03:43:54 PM  
That's right, you salivating dogs. Consume! Consume! Consume!

 
Nemo's Brother 2009-11-27 03:44:41 PM  
I was real young when the Cabbage Patch Craze hit the US. I know a guy friend of mine and his two brothers each got a CBK one Christmas. They were normal boys and didn't want a baby doll for Christmas. They would much rather have toy wrestlers, He-Man, GI Joe or whatever was big at that time. It wasn't about what the kids wanted, it was about the parents proving they can get a Cabbage Patch Kid.

Needless to say, we made fun of them pretty hardcore for a few months. Kids will be kids.

 
LittleSmitty 2009-11-27 03:44:47 PM  
The fighting has begun. Christmas is officially on the way.

Happy Holidays!

I bought my cat a $75 cat tree (big climbing/scratching toy, for those who don't know).

She spent more time playing in the box than she ever did on the damn cat tree.

got one last month for my kid. useless POS. May sell it on Ebay once its closer to xmas. Pay a mortgage payment or give kid a dopey toy he wont touch after xmas day. easy choice

If you fight over a child's toy you should be killed on the spot.

 
NASAM 2009-11-27 03:50:02 PM  
Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way.

And a paper bag from Safeway is a great cat toy, also.

 
buckler 2009-11-27 03:51:32 PM  
I don't know about anyone else, but I'd rather spend the money on an actual hamster and habitat for a kid. At least that way, they'd learn some responsibility, and come to the understanding that nature isn't all fluffy-fun happy goodness, but includes elements of horror and blood. I bet Zhu Zhu hamsters don't eat their young.

 
skinink 2009-11-27 03:52:01 PM  
My kids are getting Cabbage Patch Dolls, and they'll like it. Especially little Bobby, he'll get two of them.

I was at Toys R Us this morning. I waited in line in the electronics department to get a Zhu Zhu for my daughter.

You know what ticks me off about you people? You are all criticizing the shoppers who do this, and yet not one of you lazy bums got your butts out of bed at 4:30 this morning to drive to the store to make sure somebody else gets a merry Christmas.

If you don't get what you want for Christmas this year, who are you going to blame? Not your mom, I hope. Not the one who did the cooking and the cleaning and the decorating and the shopping and the wrapping so Christmas would be nice for YOU.

Do you think I WANTED to get out of bed at 4:30 this morning after spending all day yesterday orchestrating Thanksgiving? How about a little less disrespect and an occasional "Thanks, mom, for doing that".

That must have been some doll.

 
AfternoonDelight 2009-11-27 03:53:57 PM  
I heard about these things the other day, so I looked them up on Amazon to see if they would do for the neices and nephews. The cheapest hamster was $60! For a stuffed hamster! The thing better cook and clean for you at that price!

Please take this anger out on your children. We don't give a flying f*ck about you here. And yes, you are an ass for being at Toys R Us at 4:30 in the morning.

I award you a 9.

 
Peaves 2009-11-27 03:57:42 PM  
Reminds me of when I worked for retail. This older, REALLY irritated guy came up to me and was looking for a Nintendo DS for his daughter the week before Christmas, when I told him we were out, he lectured to me that her not getting a DS makes him a bad parent. "Would you be upset if you didn't get the ONE thing you asked for?"

And both posted at the same time. That's just spooky.

Do you understand how completely asinine this slavish devotion to consumerism is? Do you equate material things with happiness? Do you teach your children to make the same conclusion?
