Let’s Hope Kids Didn’t Vote Funzo Onto Walmart “Hot Toy List” Or We’re All Doomed
The children are our future and as such, they hold our fates in their adorable, tiny, toy-clutching hands. Walmart decided to let kids decide what this year’s hot holiday toys will be, holding a three-day playfest to allow them the try out and rate their favorite toys. Anyone who knows The Simpson‘s Funzo should be hoping those tykes didn’t choose a toy-murder happy creature sent from the bowels of hell to destroy us all.
Walmart hosted 1,000 boys and girls between the ages of 18 months and 10 years at a three-day event in August, throwing them 50 toys to play with and asking them to choose their favorites, reports the Associated Press.
That event garnered a top 20 list of toys, due out today. There is a new Furby on there (Funzo, is that you?) as well as a hugging Elmo (because tickling isn’t enough) and a Barbie dream house (does it have Wi-Fi?).
Keep your eyes peeled, parents. Don’t buy anything that kills other toys, or you could be putting your family in danger.
