Which is why I can't stop giggling -- I mean, obviously, the first thing I worry about when I look at that toy was the toddler-throat-sized parts, don't know what everyone is going all cross-eyed for! The law doesn't require warning for brainbreak potential, perhaps thankfully (else where'd we get our Vibrating Potter Broomsticks?).

I have this dreadfully amusing mental image of the R&D fellow presenting it proudly to the board of directors, who all go purple and begin coughing -- except for the Legal head, who exclaims, "Are you serious? There's no way we can market that, we'd be sued six heartbeats after it hit the shelves -- that octopus is exactly the diameter of a toddler's trachea!"

Cue various comical expressions round the table, and the Head of Advertising murmuring sotto voce to the person next to him, "I don't know about toddlers, but I know *I* nearly choked on my own tongue!"
