10 Hilariously Inappropriate Toys for Kids (PHOTOS)
I don't know about you, but I can't even count how many times I strolled through the aisles of a toy store or picked up one of my kid's playthings and thought to myself (in the voice of Jerry Seinfeld), Who are the ad wizards who came up with this one? Definitely maybe I have a dirtier mind than most, but some children's toys are so, er, adult-looking that one has to wonder if they were meant as a private dirty joke for parents (it's either that, or the people in charge of designing these things have absolutely no firsthand knowledge of human anatomy). The good news about such disturbingly inappropriate toys is that any innuendos generally tend to go over kids' heads, but still -- how are you supposed to keep a straight face when something like one of these not-so-innocent items finds its way to your playroom?

Play D'oh, indeed: This what-in-god's-name-were-they-thinking plastic putty pumper is so unrepentantly phallic, Play-Doh is in the process of updating the playset and is offering to send replacement parts to offended parents. Thanks, Play-Doh, but there ain't no unseeing that thing.
Muppets Hot Wheels (Beaker)
I believe the expression on Beaker's face on the package says it all. (Oh and hey! This one is still available for purchase!)
Whippin' Web Chuk Spider-Man
Spider-Man better watch where he's whippin' those "web chuks." Somebody could lose an eye, for Pete's sake.
Discovery Kids "Real Skin" Dinosaur
The real "discovery" here is that necrophilia was a thing even back in prehistoric times. The "real skin" part only makes the whole thing creepier.
