Anyone seen any strange, unusual, odd, etc. presents for Xmas?
I just saw an advert for Wedgie a children's toy but it was pretty distrubing:

I just saw an advert for Wedgie a children's toy but it was pretty distrubing:
From somewhere in the glittering backwater of American pop culture has emerged one of the strangest and most deeply disturbing electronic toys we've ever seen. Wally Getsa Wedgie is a toy parents are sure to hate and kids are sure to find themselves drawn to.
Picture an 8-inch tall model of a very young redneck kid with buck teeth jutting out of a grin that stretches from one misshapen ear to the other. He's the indelibly cute but undeniably annoying little brother that anyone with younger siblings is sure to have grown to both love and loathe.
Wally's bobbing head races with juvenile thoughts as he tries to regale you with the latest happenings in his life, make you laugh with a grab bag full of the most predictable jokes ever, and just generally try to annoy you. In order to stop his babbling, you have to grab the band of his underwear peering above his pants and yank it up until you lift the poor, annoying Wally up off the ground with a good, old-fashioned wedgie.
