They could've just done away with the electronic bit. 'Play our new game.. search for invisible beasts and kill them when you find one. Years of fun'

Is that High School Musical dance mat thing designed that way so you can stamp on their faces?

"cupcake"?

I thought that was an Americanism? Or is there a difference between fairy cake and cupcake?

Hah, I must be right, Wikiikipediaiki agrees with me.

British cupcakes are basically little sponge cakes with a thick layer of Stu-style flat-topped icing on it.

Now what would be a good present is a Godzilla smashing mat which has blow up buildings on it, which you can then trample on while screaming RARGH while dressed in a mini Godzilla costume

Whoever made those cakes surely based it on this image (NSFW).

//edit: Haha, the frogcakes are on saculture.com which has nothing to do whatsoever with SomethingAwful but shares the initials. The frog in that photo was turned into a smilie on SA.

Fairiess have wings too, though. I'm confuzzled.

The ones with 'wings' are indeed butterfly cakes.

Fairy cakes are usually quite a bit smaller than cupcakes.

Santa, I want:

Oooh! *Eyes shine*

I've always wanted a Mr.Frosty...did anyone have one of those?

Sheepeh · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 2320

I still have one. I still use it. He is ace.

Joans · **Joined:** 31st Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8658

What was the other one? Wasn't it a penguin?

Sheepeh · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 2320

'Baby Born' continues to be the stupidest name for a doll ever.

Baby Born? As opposed to what, sorry?

Baby Stillborn, their less popular other range.

Comes with promotional vouchers for Mattel coathangers though, apparently.

When I get home I'll get that picture I took in The Entertainer in Cardiff of baby dolls on display. Naked, realistic looking babies inside plastic bags. Disturbing as hell.

Baby Accidental?

At least the delivery man can leave it on your doorstep if no-one is there to sign for it.

I didn't know Elmo did stand-up. That would be pretty cool, I think.

It would totally be on the top 10 if it did, though. And it is on the top 10. Which means it does!

Guff Hopper
Meatandcheese are proud to present the World's first farting spacehopper.

Engineered in our Far East sweatshops this bastard offspring of the Spacehopper and the Whoopee cushion is bound to provide hours of fart-based fun. The cow shaped ball is fitted with a self-inflating detachable fart unit and comes with its own pump for swift inflation. So grab the bitch by the horns, bounce high in the air and wait for that arse ripping guff-blast when you land!!! And remember the GuffHopper motto - "The higher you fly, the louder you fart!"

As tested by Z-List celebs from both Big Brother & Hollyoaks. Highlight of their careers no doubt.

Price: £25.00

That's Gaz sorted for Christmas then...

Sorry, that's a Tickle-me-Emo link there, very amusing! Reminds me a little of Kelly Osbourne though

I read that and the image of the scene from Jesuscamp came to mind where the christian nutter was showing small children little models of foetuses in varying stages of development. Apart from the obvious feelings of antipathy I had towards the christian nutter all I could think was "Cool...where the hell do ya get those from?"

When me and the mrs went to 'having a baba' classes they had cuddly afterbirth.

Where the fuck do they make those?

metalangel · **Posted:** Wed Oct 15, 2008 18:51

No doubt next door to the fake barf factory. Though I believe demand for that has collapsed due to the binge drinking culture.

you can egt soft cuddly toys of deadly bacterium, although I can't be arsed to google it right now.

They're knitted by very cynical, bitter old midwives.
