Play, doh!

[Gob]

Hasbro is under fire from parents who are outraged over a penis-shaped part in a Play Doh cake decorating set.



The toymaker has been attacked by moms and dads who bought the innocent-looking Sweet Shoppe Cake Mountain Playset for their loved ones - and were shocked at the toy's phallic connotations.
The piece in question, which is around the length of a thumb, is a mock frosting applicator, which the company refers to as an 'extruder'. It is one of many parts in the $20 set.
Children are supposed to fill the tube with colored frosting, inset a plunger, then squeeze the synthetic goo out of one end, by pressing down against two protrusions at the base.
Angry consumers flocked to the brand's social media channels to blast the company for the ill-thought out design.
Mom Mari Ramirez said: 'As a customer as well as being a mom I'm very disappointed in you guy.....my kids love your product....shame I have to start to re look at u guys before I buy!!!! Plz change
Diane Goss Lamb wrote to the company: 'It is so obviously inappropriate, that I have a hard time believing that no-one in your company stopped this from being approved and distributed in the first place.'

Gob, was it necessary to post that second photograph of you and your favourite Christmas gift? Blech!

Geez, much ado about nothing.

Here's a grown up extruder:



I could post more, but essentially, they're all 'phallic' to some extent - just like anything longish and tapered at the end and out of which creamy stuff can be made to extrude.

Kids using this set are too young to really think about it, anyway.
