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.

Maybe i should explain what i meant by fucked up. It looks like a pipe bomb. Terrorists use bombs. Children age 5-8 do not understand about how serious bombs are, they are not a game.

Nothing about a bomb or defusing it,should be something a kid should play with.

 

Also about cutting wires, playing with electrical items.

( could tempt them to try to cut other wires, that are real) Or if they happen to see something that looks like a bomb, they think hey i can defuse it.kek

 

Shooting is a skill and using targets and can be fun.

They have the little police or army sets for kids( badge, toy gun, helmet, etc)

Also they have detective or csi type kits.

Not many people defuse bombs, so it seemed obscure and a little fucked up to market as a toy to kids, given the actions of terrorists the past 20 years.

All the ieds in Iraq, and across europe.

 

Why do you think it is fine? Would you buy this for a child in your family?

I just think it's on a different level, then waterguns, or video games.

It just rubbed me the wrong way, as being wrong for kids.

 

Tired, so my explaination is most likely lacking, kek
