2004 “10 Worst Toys” List

W.A.T.C.H.’s (World Against Toys Causing Harm… heh heh) annual “10 Worst Toys” list has hit the streets. This thing reads like gift list for low rent dads. I kinda love it.

Harmless fun or sliding death trap? Simtec Fun Slide Carpet Skates are high on the list of dangerous toys this year.

The list “nominates representative toys with the potential to cause childhood injuries, or even death.” The claim that their “annual ‘Toy Conference’ has generated extensive national press and media coverage,” and that “[f]ounder Edward M. Swartz and W.A.T.C.H. have fearlessly exposed potentially dangerous toys to the general public. As a result, children?s lives have been saved.”

I’m all for saving children’s lives, but… there must be a better way. Personally, I think these people suck a little.
