AIBU in thinking cuddly toys shouldn't have huge bollocks?

I found what I thought was a cow in the nursery I was working in the other day. Except when I looked at the huge dangly pink thing under the stern of it there were no teats, just scrotum. Now I understand that testicles are nothing to be ashamed of. Churchill had them, Brunel had them, even Hitler had one, but I don't think they're appropriate on a cuddly children's toy. Yes, there was a cuddly cow that had udders which are basically four pronged boobies, but that's different. It was also the size of them. Bulls do have balls down to their knees, but if you're making a child's toy you could at least scale them down a bit.
AIBU?

You could be talking about me

Yep, need a picture before we can judge properly :o

Anatomically correct animals. Wow!

That's the far side of right-on that is. What next, horses cocks that reach the ground?

I got a right shock when I saw a horses cock for the first time - it was so out of proportion I thought it was an extra leg.

You are certainly notBU. We do NOT want that conversation age 3 thank you.

HiggleDePiggledy · 11/03/2012 21:36

yabu

The first thing children will ask when seeing a well hung bull is "What is that hanging down". You will have to loud parent quietly and everyone will listen in. and laff.

So a stuffed toy anatomically correct bull is the way to go.You can explain in the comfort of your own living room.Grin

My son has a gorgeous soft bull from the colmans mustard shop in norwich which has a small, yet perfectly formed, pair of bollocks!!
It was a tenner. Wll look on colemans website, perhaps its there.

TiggyD · 11/03/2012 21:40

I had a bad experience on a walk with a group of children when we came face to balls with a bull.
"What's that thing?"
"I don't know, COME ON LETS BE GETTING BACK!"

yep something happening at the back of the Longhorn

Kennyp · 11/03/2012 21:44

Cor they are much bigger than the colemans one

McQueasy · 11/03/2012 21:44

Hitler only has one ??????????????Confused

ComposHat · 11/03/2012 21:46

I would think 1 clacker bag of average proportions containing two modestly sized love spuds is more appropriate for a cuddly toy.

It is the small boys I worry about. Seeing a toy packing that much action down stairs would be intimidating and could lead to ballbag dismorphia.

Kennyp · 11/03/2012 21:47

Dh thinks colemans bull is completely unsuitable for ds. I told dh to grow a pair.

Boom boom

otchayaniye · 11/03/2012 21:48

Just curious, but why wouldn't you want that conversation at age 3?

kickassangel · 11/03/2012 21:49

I once took a group of school kids to a theme park with animals there. Several of those pink-bottomed monkeys were masturbating. Imagine the joy of 12 year old boys watching that.

TiggyD · 11/03/2012 21:50

Why would I, a man with a nice clean CRB, want to talk to other people's 3 year olds about bollocks? I don't want to be arrested?

MrsSchadenfreude · 11/03/2012 21:51

Yes, McQueasy. The other is in the Albert Hall.

Onesunnymorningin2012 · 11/03/2012 21:52

I remember steering my nephew (then aged 3) away from a load of wanking bonobos kickass. While crying with laughter.

OP, YABU. Every cuddly toy should have massive bollocks. Grin

IAmBooyhoo · 11/03/2012 21:52

i dont see why toys shouldn't be anatomically correct. as you say, testicles are nothing to be ashamed of. the cow had it's udders why not have the bull with testicles.

TiggyD · 11/03/2012 21:53

It would make a bloody great class toy! Grin

OP I can't decide if you are BU, but you are being funny.

On reflection, I think the cow should be allowed it's bollocks :)

otchayaniye · 11/03/2012 21:58

Tiggy, why would talking, if asked by a child playing with an anatomically correct bull, about those body parts in as neutral and as age appropriate a way as you could, get you arrested?
