Minger Top Trumps

Searching for inspiration in the toy section I come across these minger cards
Amazon recommends them from ages 8 and up.
Is it just me being sensitive or is this a terriible message to be teaching our children?

utterly horrible.

Grin at 'is it just me being sensitive'

Are you really not sure?

Mmmm - we found the meb inmy office had made cards of all the women who worked there called "Top Humps". They had laminated them and scored all the women on attributes like "filth factor", "arse" etc.

I have seen the Minger cards before - I think you are being a bit sensitive (the humour is very "People of Walmart" and not to my taste) but I agree I don't think they are suitable for children and give a nasty message

Yuk catgirl to the 'top humps'.

I 'sort' of see the humour, but I don't agree with this being marketed to children. Sends completely all the wrong messages...

I got some trailer trash ones as a present once. You got extra points for mullets and stuff - I did think they were fairly amusing

They are top trumps for adult humour, not for kids. 8 yo is too young but I bet many 14 yo's would find them hillarious, smells and the like are the funniest things in the world to a teen!
