To think WTF when seeing this game advertised on Nick jr a few minutes ago?!

It was apparently "Nominated 2010 toy of the year in the Netherlands." Seriously?! [hconfused]

It wouldn't be so bad if the shit that came out the other end was the correct colour....but bright yellow....and the kids hovering around the dogs nether regions eagerly anticipating the shit with delight.....and the strained look on the cartoon dogs face.....bleughhh....[vom-emoticon]

I know it's disgusting!

whackamole · 20/10/2011 16:55

EWWWWWWWWWWW!

That is gross!

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 20/10/2011 16:55

LOL

That's really weird.

I really can't see the fun in that at all!

ScarlettIsWalking · 20/10/2011 16:55

Dd asked me what came out of it's bottom I didn't know what the f to say

giyadas · 20/10/2011 16:59

Gross.
Have you seen ? Who thinks up these things Shock

WowOoo · 20/10/2011 17:01

If it's that doggy doo thing, ds has asked for it for Christmas. And we've no idea what to get him. Can't buy that. No, no, no.

My DD (3.5) found it highly amusing....I thought to myself "what is she laughing at?" looked up from MN on the laptop doing something constructive and saw the...ahem...tail end of the ad - had to actually rewind the Sky box as I couldn't quite believe what I saw! [hshock]

I think that ad actually disturbed me a little bit....keep seeing the image of the dogs face while forcing out the poo, and the all too realistic release of it from it's backside flash up in my mind......think I need a lie down...

And it retails for £22.99! Shock
I wouldn't give you 10 quid for it!

roadkillbunny · 20/10/2011 17:16

The reasons we as adults find it disturbing, WTF and truly pointless is the exact reasons who children will love it.
I hate it, it gives me chills but I know my children (dd 6 and ds 3) would find it the best thing in the world ever and absolutely hilarious. If I ever lost my mind and bought the game they would play with it morning, noon and night laughing like maniacs all the way.
It is why we are adults and they are children. One can not understand the other.

£22.99?? Bloody hell... they should pay every person who watches the ad that for the trauma of seeing it!

There's also a dog 'doll' that cocks its leg & pees. Sort of canine Baby Alive Confused

Very true roadkillbunny! My DD little eyes lit up when she saw it... not sure she would be quite so excited at the thought of playing the same game with a live dog though!

Isn't there a Barbie dog that poos?

colken · 20/10/2011 17:25

I would not buy that for my child. It would be encouraging a child to inspect a live dog's nether parts and it would be so insanitary.

PosiesOfPoison · 20/10/2011 17:33

Awful, I agree.

Itsjustafleshwound · 20/10/2011 17:46

I really thought I had dreamed that I saw an advert like this - so I wasn't wrong!!

What an incredibly vile game to market to children!

MrsHeffley · 20/10/2011 17:50

I thought you were going to be talking about the Monopoly credit card game which got a WTF from me.

My dd has the pissing dog Pipi Max.Its funny I have to say.My dd loves it

squeakyfreakytoy · 20/10/2011 19:29

Got to be honest.. I find it quite funny.. Grin

Kids do have an obsession with poo, and would probably have hours of fun with that!

Mazza123 · 28/10/2011 15:37

I don?t understand what all the fuss is about. My two kids absolutely love it.
Seeing and hearing them scream with laughter makes the £20 worth it.
I don?t believe for one minute it will encourage kids to pick up real poo or play with it - If it was brown poo, I?d be more concerned (unlike the disgusting poo in practical joke kits) .
I give it 10 out of 10 for entertainment alone

LadyFiona · 28/10/2011 15:54

Surely toys are about having fun. The game provides me and my nephew with hours of enjoyment and that for me is the biggest reward. After all it's us Auntie's which are allowed to purchase these 'disgusting games'

blackoutthesun · 28/10/2011 15:58

ooh my nephew would love that!
