Pinata stuffed with US soldiers now gone


The profoundly tasteless US-soldier-stuffed-piñata blogged yesterday on BoingBoing is no longer offered for sale at the Oriental Trading Company website.

1. Great
Bush's folly has made killing our troops a party game. What was that line in the military oath again? All enemies foreign or DOMESTIC?

4. Interesting, some of their other pinatas. Fire truck, Dora the Explorer, Little Mermaid.
So beating up on firefighters and females is still OK. MKJ

5. The US is the wrong market for that...
They should sell it in Iraq, or Iran, or Syria, or Afghanistan...:evilfrown:

6. I have a better idea....
How about a "Jack Abramoff" pinata: you whack it and all kinds of Republican Congressman and cash fall out!!!

Merry Christmas, all!! :toast:

7. I think this may be a cultural misunderstanding... (I think!)
I've seen some truly bizarre Asian import products before. There is hardly a high degree of marketing savvy among some of these companies.
