This should say it all:

Look at the picture (disturbing thought), and read the reviews... you'll be in for a good laugh.

HAR!™

The boy in the picture looks so stupidly camp!

I have a good mind to but one just to look at the manual and find the sentance that says 'This item will NOT allow you to fly'. If there isn't one I will sue for false marketing LOL

I think Amazon deleted one or two of the reviews earlier. There was one review where the parent pointed out how it didn't seem appropriate for his/her daughter had a vibrating broom between her legs as she pretended to fly around...

My favorite one also was apparently deleted...

" ...I bought this broom for by 12 year old daughter, and she loves it. Even her older sister enjoys playing with it. When theyn have friends over, they all end up playing with it for hours in her bedroom..."

Talk about sexual innuendo...

I was just told by my younger brother of the same topic over on the DAMN R6 Froum (DAMN is a Rouge Spear clan on GameRanger in case you didn't know). The stuff they are saying there is almost as funny as the original comments.

Heh heh...
My favorite review:
quote:

I'm 32 and enjoy riding the broom as much as my 12 yr old and 7 year old. The vibrations, along with the swooshing sounds make for a very magical journey!

I wonder what kind of "magic"....

They did delete em! That's terrible! Hehe, I wonder if it's cause all the publicity the thing's getting, from who knows how many depraved forum communities. Who pointed it out first, does anyone know? And how long before the toy itself is done in by the singleminded innuendo of the forum-going population?

And looking at it again, that latest review--Wonko's favorite--has got to be fake. My goodness, it's just too obvious!

NEW REVIEW!!!!!!

quote:
I just got this for my girl-friend who is in love with harry potter. She loved the broom (it replaced the 'normal' one), and she now has a full outwit that she can wear for Halloween. And even i enjoy it at times too. Even though we're 21, your never too old for a toy with this much FUN!

From someone called "Crystal". Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
