    wtf.. gundam condoms?


    I was just about to make a comment in this post about trying to find some, but then I realized it was going to turn into a joke about them all being too small.

    And seriously guys, there's been play shaving kits around for decades. They aren't new, and it's that whole "act grown up like daddy" thing. Besides, what's wrong with getting the idea of shaving into your kids head unless you dont mind him growing up to be a nasty bearded longhair hippie?

    My dad taught me to shave with an old school Razor, the kind you sharpened yourself and would remove your face if you slipped. What is the world coming to?

    This is boring, bring on the TF Movie Cucumbers and then we'll have something to talk about.

    Just to be clear and concise, I was reffering to the "out of control marketing" as a whole in general. :peoples:

    I do recall seeing the play shaving kits as well. Again :horse:  the martketing campaign is bananas! But it makes sense from a sales perspective. OVERSATURATE!

    They would work with the TF movie condoms mentioned earlier.

    I know. I was just applying the comment to the general "Kids play at doing the things adults do" pattern of the kiddie razor. At least the use of a condom is less mundane than the use of a safety razor. :)

    What? You guys had to be taught to shave? :D 

    Very weird piece of merchandise... and the Gundam condoms are so very wrong.

    I think the marketing guys pulled the same stunt as Jim Carrey did in the movie Bruce Almighty with the prayer emails: "YES" to everything.
