A TOY firm has axed a vibrating replica of Harry Potter's broomstick after mums complained their daughters spent too long riding it. Makers Mattel advertised the battery operated toy as having "a grooved stick and handle for easy riding."
Here are some customer reviews from Amazon:
When my 12 year old daughter asked for this for her birthday, I kind of wondered if she was too old for it, but she seems to LOVE it. Her friends love it too! They play for hours in her bedroom with this great toy. They really seem to like the special effects it offers (the sound effects and vibrating). My oldest daughter (17) really likes it too! I reccomend this for all children.
My 12 year old daughter is a big Harry Potter fan, and loved the part with the Nimbus 2000, so I decided to buy her this toy. I was afraid she would think it was too babyish, but she LOVES this toy. Even my daughter's friends enjoy playing with this fun toy. I was surprised at how long they can just sit in her room and play with this magic broomstick! A great buy for any Harry Potter fan! :)
The customer reviews were written by parents... are these people clueless? Or are the kids actually just using it to play Quidditch?

Have you never heard of the Amazon joke reviews where people on unusual products make a load of humorous reviews?
The reviews that are quoted in this article are exactly these. You people, you have no idea about anything on the internet do you?
idiots i tell you
I'm even more shocked at the morons who manufacture this rated E sextoy... what's this world coming to?!

lol j/k
but pervertedness asside
WHAT kind of freak would make that kind a toy
a 7 year old might use the toy
That's hilarious!
Parents? Where are your brains?
If my Big Wheel had done that, I would've never come in the house.....heh heh heh...
a) you dont have to hide
b) your parents buy for you
c) no-one wonders where all the batteries are going
sounds brilliant
How many allowances have been blown on batteries?

Edit: They said Mums that must mean their British...maybe that explains some of it...but still come on!
But the parent being so unaware thats scary
