harry pottah in pervy shockah!

My friend Megan sent me a link to the H*rry P*tter 2000 broom on Amazon.

First of all, can we talk about the picture of that boy on the broomstick? I dread the day when he has to sit down with his parents for The Chat.

And then... well, then come the reviews:

My 12 year old daughter is a big H*rry P*tter fan, and loved the part with the Nimbus 2000, so I decided to buy her this toy. I was afraid she would think it was too babyish, but she LOVES this toy. Even my daughter's friends enjoy playing with this fun toy. I was surprised at how long they can just sit in her room and play with this magic broomstick!

My oldest daughter (17) really likes it too!

What possible use could a 17 year old have for a light-up toy broom? Oh. Wait:

It wasn't until after she opened her gift and started playing with it that I realized that the toy may offer a more than sensational experience. The broomstick has cute sound effects and ***VIBRATES*** when they put it between their legs to fly. Come on---what were the creators of this toy thinking? She'll keep playing with the Nimbus 2000, but with the batteries removed.

It's a VIBRATING BROOM. A VIBRATING BROOM FOR CHILDREN.

I'm going to go say a rosary. Then I'm going to put it on my wishlist.

Geez, what an uptight mom! How did she know her daughter liked it for, err, *those* purposes... did she lock herself away in the bedroom or something?

God... I really hate these up tight dark-age attitudes about sex. Children are not ment to be horribly repressed. The great majority of people mastrubate. I started when I was about five. Most others don't until about twelve or so, but come on.... Sex is not some sort of deamon that should be repressed, it's something that should be explained and accepted. That New Jersey mom defies words.... I know the thought of children knowing about sex is uncomfortable to some people, but come on.... It's a very natural thing. Your kids know about and enjoy mastrubation! You must supress them, making them feel guilty about sex and need years of counseling! Get a grip on reality, please.
