Fun For All Ages (NSFW)

More fun from Consumerist, this time regarding Hasbro's Oozinator, a water gun-like toy that shoots... ummm... ooze... all over the place. The commercial is a little disturbing. Most of the Amazon reviews were taken down, but Consumerist dug up some of the funnier and/or less subtle ones. My favorite:
As much fun as this toy is while it lasts, it does indeed tend to shoot the ooze much quicker than I would want. It’s good for me but my partners don’t enjoy it.

Oh, Hasbro...

Update: The official site doesn't help matters:
Sneak up on your opponents with a surprise bio-ooze attack! Just when they think you’re coming at ‘em with water, blast ‘em with a shot of icky bio-ooze! Shoot out globs of gooey bio-ooze and then drench ‘em with water! It’s a double blast attack that’ll keep your opponents on their toes and running during every water fight. With the OOZINATOR blaster you don’t just get soaked, you get drenched!

Icky indeed...
