When I do a post like this, I usually end up whining about how poor, deprived little
snell never got any of these
neat-o toys advertised in older comic books.
Today, however?
What the
hell were they thinking? (click on the ad to embiggen to full
WTF size)
Yes, let's get kids to buy
8-foot leather bullwhips, and encourage then to use them in wonderfully safe and responsible ways. What could possibly go wrong?
Look:
A) Pets
ARE animals (unless you're talking about pet rocks, and those were 2 decades away)
B) You're seriously suggesting
TRAINING YOUR DOGS AND CATS WITH A FREAKIN' 8-FOOT RAWHIDE BULLWHIP?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Plus, look at the other
completely non-dangerous things that they suggest you can use your whip for:
Kids: try this at home!!
And:
Again with the domesticated animal torture?!?!?!?!?!? "
Roll over, Fluffy....KKRRAAAKKKKKK!"
Just. Wow.
