Sadly nothing there that I'll be buying for my nephew... And nothing I'll be buying for myself...

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?

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).

The ones with 'wings' are indeed butterfly cakes.

Fairy cakes are usually quite a bit smaller than cupcakes.

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

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?

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


http://www.meatandcheese.co.uk/main.htm

That's Gaz sorted for Christmas then...

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?"

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