Hmm, well looking at piggy bank for new baby in the family (JLewis is my go to for lovely baby gifts), and found this when I searched for money box. An upside down "playful" rabbit with bound looking arms designed so that pennies are posted into the slot between it's legs. It is astoundingly crass and revolting.
How to take an innocent trinket and turn it unmentionable, what were the buyers thinking? Hey look we can do the degrade women and sexualise children message all at the same time, all in the guise of "playful", cos if you don't laugh you are just too boring anyway. It's like they forgot about target markets all together.
This is a money box, but not one I would ever give as a gift and if I ever received one of these I wouldn't be inviting that gift giver back!
I am feeling a little at my usual failsafe JLewis right now!
I don't think IABU to think yuck, AIBU?
