(rubbish presents for rubbish people)
“Unleash the sex kitten inside…simply extend the Peekaboo pole inside the tube, slip on the sexy tunes and away you go!
“Soon you’ll be flaunting it to the world and earning a fortune in Peekaboo Dance Dollars”.
Tesco condemned for selling pole dancing toy - too bloody right.
Tesco are still selling it, but now it is “SUITABLE FOR ADULTS ONLY.”.
What could possibly have run through the mind of the rubbish marketing person’s mind who dreamt that this 100% rubbish gift was something rubbish parents would want to buy for their rubbish children?
Presumably, not content with dressing your daughter in slut fashion, you now feel the need to ensure that she is appropriately trained for a suitable career.
Ok, if an adult wants to buy it and use it, fine that is up to them and there are plenty of sex stores on line that stock it, but Tesco’s? But for whom precisely would this be a suitable gift?

I think that’s the point isn’t it? It’s NOT aimed at children, they just put it in the toy section by mistake. Still sleazy as all hell though!
“Tesco last night denied the pole dancing kit was sexually oriented ”
So it must be ok for children?
No, “clearly marked for ‘adult use’ “.
Must get one of those cakes you can have and eat it, next time I go to Tesco.
I can’t quite see why a health and fitness kit would require peekaboo dollars…
Much safer sticking with something like this
bit of tat, I mean quality merchandise.
I’ve heard that Tescos are expanding well in Poland now that they’ve saturated the UK. Maybe someone mis-interpreted “dancing kit for Polish kids” as “kids’ pole-dancing kit”?
Crass it may be, but the moral outrage in the Mail article and comments is a bit OTT don’t you think? I mean *Dr Adrian Rogers, of family campaigning group Family Focus said yesterday that the kit would “destroy children’s lives.* Come on!!
Bob, that bit of tat is excellent.
How many did you buy?
I suspect any child who gets bought one is likely to be already on a slippery slope, or should that be Slippery Slope®.
When I looked at them I couldn’t decide between them. What are you to do in a dilemma like that? Buy the lot? It does avoid arguments between squabbling children.
What’s that emoticon by the way?
No Tech, that wasn’t that guy’s best quote. This one is “This should only be available to the most depraved people who want to corrupt their children.”
??!!
Bob, which emoticon do you mean?
This one
or this one
See Smilies page
Ta - when I have time and inclination I’ll try to pimp my Wordpress to include things like
and 
and of course 
OOh yes Jax, that is a corker! Now, how to decide the depravity scores… could be a whole new clubcard points system
rofl Tech!
Why do so many ppl like the big plane smiley?
It’s a comedy smiley - you can’t see if the thing is smiling or not (defeats the object somewhat), it’s completely arbitrary - why not have a combine harvester smiley or a pogo-ing smiley - and of course it’s just so enormous.
Plus it’s in better taste than things like
and 
in that it’s not actually firing on anyone.
And of course if you go to something like Hunnybeez you could really go to town using the repeated smileys theme.
Oops: Hunnybeez.
Quite by accident it looks like the two smileys in my previous post (of too many on this post - sorry) are having some kind of fight, but neither looks like they’re winning.
I don’t think Tim minds multiple comments on his posts, I think he quite enjoys it actually
There is only one thing worse than having people talking about you behind your back….
No, the more comments the merrier.
I have been thinking, I should have remembered to break out the
smiley for this sequence of posts.
I think this one goes way beyond “Rubbish”. You need to start a new category of Christmas Presents … perhaps “Dodgy” or “Unwelcome”.
Actually, I bet my husband sees that and buys me one for Christmas….and I won’t tell you what I will do with the pole then haaa haaaa!
