(It's not real)

The Internet is ablaze with outrage over a new Fisher Price toy hitting markets just in time for Christmas—only the toy isn’t real, Fisher Price has no intention of producing it, and the image that’s riling up consumers is a Photoshopped product box intended as a social media joke.

A photo, supposedly of a “Fisher Price Happy Hour Playset,” has been going viral on Facebook. According to the “ad,” the set, which has three very happy looking children playing bartender and barfly on the box, comes with a plastic bar, complete with three plastic bar stools and beer bottles, all authentically scented with the smell of stale beer and shame (probably).

Some parents, clearly not realizing that the “Happy Hour Playset” was a joke, took to Facebook to express their outrage at Fisher Price for marketing such a terrible product, and to bemoan the state of a society that encourages toddlers to experiment with drinking and mixology.[That really shows how some people have such a hair-trigger for becoming outraged that their commonsense goes completely out the window. A 10 second search could have prevented them from becoming punked jackasses...]

What a shame, I have a 3-year old grandson.

This year it will be cash.

It's important to read the fine print in my original post. I guess I should have put this in the Laffs forum.

I had an 18 year old on my Christmas list but my wife made me remove her.

Some parents, clearly not realizing that the “Happy Hour Playset” was a joke, took to Facebook ... to bemoan the state of a society that encourages toddlers to experiment with drinking and mixology.

What "parents" are these? In my opinion, a well-educated child knows how to fix Mom and Dad a decent martini.

I have to agree.

And I love that kid bartender on the box; I'd buy it if I had a 3 year old.

Fisher-Price should really offer that. It would probably be as big a hit for them as this was for Schadenfreude Entertainment back in 2008:
