This is fucked up, reminds me of Dan Aykroyd's dangerous toys skit on SNL from the 70's
Walmart and Target pull children’s game 'Cut the Wire' that had players as young as eight trying to defuse a toy BOMB
Game manufactured by the company YULU was first introduced in the summer of 2018
Toy consists of a plastic pack of dynamite and requires players to test each of the wires and follow clues to identify the right wire to cut
If a wrong wire is cut, the fake explosive device lights up, an alarm goes off and a vibration is felt imitating a blast
Target pulled it from its shelves in the fall of last year, and Walmart said it, too, had stopped selling the game
Major retailers have pulled the plug on a game that asked children to diffuse a fake bomb before it detonates after facing backlash.
The game, called ‘Cut the Wire,' is described on the manufacturer's website as a 'fun game of luck' where players have to test each of the wires on a plastic dynamite pack and follow clues to identify the right wire to cut.
'Stay calm, listen to the clues and diffuse the device before it explodes!' the description reads.
