Guns for Christmas? Or breasts?

[Lisajd3]

I just logged on and searched goggle for "stocking fillers" for my 3 kids. While I think I've got a good sense of humour I am disgusted by what the first company that came up thinks is appropriate for teens to get in their stocking!! How about your teen son drinking from a mug that has a nice silver or gold gun as the handle? Or maybe he'd like some jelly breasts to eat with his cup of tea? They wouldn't want to leave your daughter out and have some lovely "pink willy sweets" for her! then we have the sport of breast basket ball???throwing an inflatable breast! Is this seriously what they think is suitable for teens age from 13??. Is this how we teach our children to respect women? Or that guns aren't toys or glamorous? I know lots of people will think it's just a joke but how do we teach our children respect for life and for each other when companies send the message that guns are glamorous???

Did you just type the word 'stocking fillers'? I know plenty of fully grown adults who get stockings on Xmas and that sort of stuff would be suitable for some as a joke.

[Retroformica]

Try 'children's stocking fillers' instead

[Marshy]

Err - don't buy it??

[Fuckingfacebook]

Are only children allowed stockings then?

"how do we teach our children respect for life and for each other when companies send the message that guns are glamorous???"

??

You teach them exactly as you have taught them to think about moral and social issues (incluing peer and media pressure) since they were tiny. If you wait until they are teens, then yes they'll be a gullible advertiser's dream.

Google tailors results to you, so will will give you results based on your previous browsing habits. I did the same as you and got children's stocking fillers....
YABU to think google can read your mind.

[scaevola]

PhallicGiraffe you inspired me to try it to. My browsing history means that my hits were for places like John Lewis, Hawkins Bazaar and BHS.

[WeileWeileWaile]

I've just googled stocking fillers & got BHS, amazon and NotOnTheHighStreet.

OP - it's you, not Google

[Moreisnnogedag]

I only get naice shops. But now I'm interested what are you googling the rest of the time?

[Pennyacrossthehall]

Epic judging fail!

[VisualiseAHorse]

This is actually quite funny! I got BHS, Hawkins! stockingfillers.com and Claire's.

[Fuckingfacebook]

I got stocking fillers.co.uk. Hawkins bazaar. Bhs. And not on the high street.

[WhatTheHellIsHappening]

I got Hwkins Bazaar, the Entertainer, stockingfilkers and prezzybox. Until I clicked on the adult set ion, none of that came up.

[WinterWinds]

I got stockingfillers.co.uk, Amazon, Not on the High street, Bhs and the like.

Perfectly respectable here!!!!!

[Caitlin17]

Yes googling "stocking fillers", I got BHS, Next, JL etc and a couple of others, but equally innocent. One of them had a Ryan Gosling tea towel which an obsessed friend will like.

[Heartbrokenmum73]

Yes, I got stockingfillers.com, Hawkins, BHS etc, too

Wonder what the OP has been doing on Google lately???

[liquidstate]

I would say breasts as I dislike guns. [tchsmile]

[Heartbrokenmum73]

Have just noticed in the OP you are using 'goggle' to search. Maybe that's the problem. I think the rest of us used 'Google'.

Hth

[catgirl1976]

Hilarious

[TondelayoSchwarzkopf]

Whereas I would like my breasts to be guns

OP have you thought about what your kids like and then going from there? I would google 'stocking fillers' for a random colleague's secret santa gift but not the people I gave birth to.
