Blame WordPress and Aqua Dots are dangerous!!

It’s WordPress’ fault not mine, or Britt‘s. WordPress screwed up this entry.

See exhibit B:

I really did enter it for Friday! I can count!

Now, back to your scheduled programming…

AQUA DOTS are pulled from the shelves…

Aqua Dots are dangerous?! What a surprise! Have you seen the commercial? I was horrified when I first saw these things; just wondering how safe they were and who the fuck thought that up!?

Um. First you have a little pen-like apparatus which looks like it’s shitting out dots, and then you spray the dots with water to get them to stick together. No one thought of the possible hazards prior to actually investing TIME and MONEY into this item? What kind of wackjob thought this scheme up, and who backed up this idea?

Here’s a tidbit for ya:Your mouth has saliva: saliva is WET.

The tiny dots stick together PERMANENTLY when they get wet.If that wasn’t a hazard enough… now they’ve actually recalled them over something entirely different?

…the term “industrial solvent” often is synonymous with “highly toxic.” The children who swallowed Aqua Dots vomited violently, went into a coma, and were hospitalized before recovering..

…In the body, the chemical forms gamma-hydroxy butyrate, an illegal date rape drug — so named because it was used to secretly induce a comalike state during which perpetrators raped their victims….

I could sit in an ivory tower and decide: Why yes! Let’s make a toy that looks like candy and then make sure it has DATE RAPE drugs in it! It’ll be a sure seller! Honestly. How do these people make it through the day?

Need I say more?

Seriously, what’s next?

Snow globes with cyanide? How about Operation? Now with a Real scalpel!
