Play-DOH! Hasbro Takes The Penis Out Of Its Plaything

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) It was an embarrassing Christmas for Nivea Cabrera after she was accused by her fiance's mother of letting her 5-year-old granddaughter play with a sex toy. A mortified Carbrera asked the child where she got the penis-shaped plastic cylinder.

"It's from my Play-Doh," the girl replied.

Hasbro, the Pawtucket-based toy company, is now doing damage control over the extruder tool in its Play-Doh Cake Mountain toy. The two-piece syringe-like tool, which includes a tube with corkscrew-type ridges around the outside and a dome-shaped top with a hole at the tip, can be used to squeeze Play-Doh to look like decorative cake frosting.


Complaints have been surfacing since at least November, when Tulsa, Oklahoma, TV station KTUL showed the tool to parents and asked them what they thought. The station blurred the image of the tool during the piece, saying it was due to parents' reactions. One woman told the station it was "a pretty phallic cake-decorating piece."

After Christmas, comments started pouring in to Play-Doh's Facebook page, including from Cabrera, of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She said Hasbro called her after she posted a photo of the tool and asked about the shape on Christmas Day. She said the company offered to send her a replacement tool in a different shape, which she has not received.

Erin Rivers, a mother of two from Melbourne, Florida, thought it was hilarious when she helped her 6-year-old daughter open the box.

"I pulled out this extruder tool, and I just started cracking up at it, I couldn't help it. Then I immediately put the Play-Doh in it and took a picture of," she said.

Then, she posted it on Facebook.

"My friends have just as dirty minds as I do," she said. "It was hysterical to me. And then I gave it my daughter to play with."

She said her daughter and 4-year-old son don't notice anything strange about the toy.

Hasbro Inc. has received thousands of comments on the Play-Doh Facebook page pointing out the obvious.

"We are in the process of updating all future Play-Doh products with a different tool," it said in a statement posted on the page Tuesday.

It also offered to replace the tool for anyone who has complaints.

Rivers, who works in a pediatric dental office, says she's not upset at all. But she is flabbergasted that the toy slipped past so many layers of people at Hasbro.

"They have to have someone who creates it, someone who makes the plastic mold, someone who plays with it," she said. "I can't imagine that as many people that probably saw the toy, not one person said, 'Does anyone else think this looks like a penis?'"

Tom Chen Creates Device He Says Can Strengthen Vagina Muscles With Video Games

Tom Chen is a man with a mission: He wants to improve the vaginal muscles of women via video games.

Chen is a Beijing-based physicist and game designer who will release something called the SKEA which is short for "Smart Kegel Exercise Aid" later this month.

The SKEA fits into a woman's vagina and allows her to play video games hands free just by tightening her kegel muscles, the pelvic floor muscles that support the uterus, bladder, small intestine and rectum.


In a Kickstarter video explaining the project, Chen said the SKEA was inspired by his wife's urinary problems.

"Pelvic floor-related diseases are very common, affecting half of all [women]. My wife got it after giving birth," he said on the video. "When she found herself unable to control her piss, she was really pissed off."

The prototype game for the SKEA is called "Alice In Continent," where players help Alice dodge obstacles by clenching their vagina. The contractions send signals to the control that go to the game.

One tester told Wired.co.uk the vagina video game was like "like playing Temple Run with Fitbit. Just that I don't use fingers but use my pelvic muscles!"

This past summer, Chen raised $52,021 via Kickstarter and will be shipping out the products to buyers later this month.

Although the SKEA is designed strictly for women, Chen's company is not leaving men holding their bags.

Linkcube also makes a male sex toy called Mars Gods Of War, a vibrating device that can be controlled remotely by the man's partner.

GRAPHIC CONTENT: The moment blackhead is finally removed after 25 YEARS

THIS is the stomach-churning moment a blackhead was finally removed after 25 YEARS.

In the latest video which has stormed the internet - the spot is so old that it has dried up in to a huge black clump under the woman's skin. 

And the footage is not for the faint-hearted as another woman carefully uses a pair of tweezers to pluck away at the lump for several agonising minutes. 

Finally, after a battle with the beast, she manages to remove the blackhead much to the amazement of both. 

Whether disgusting or a little satisfying - this video has racked up thousands of Youtube hits.

WATCH: Copper caught on dash-cam giving it his all to Taylor Swift

IT's not all too often you see someone enjoying themselves this much at work.

But policeman Jeff Davies was really shaking it all off and gave it some sass on Taylor Swift's No 1 hit single.

A dash-cam filmed the 19-year veteran miming along, shaking his head and even breaking with the rules to move his hands from between the 10 and 2 o'clock position.

Dover Police, in Delaware, released the footage as part of a new series dubbed Dash Cam Confessionals.

A department spokesman described Master Corporal Davies as "the class clown".

The 48-year-old father of four is said to know Swift's hit tune so well because of his 10-year-old daughter.

Seagull comes back to life after direct HIT during Aussie cricket game

CRICKET fans were left stunned after a seagull miraculously recovered from a direct-hit with a cricket ball during an Australian game.

Perth Scorchers batsman Adam Voges rocketed the ball into the white gull during the Big Bash cricket match.

Cricket fans in Melbourne, Australia gasped as the seagull which had been sitting comfortably in the grounds crumpled into a ball of feathers.

"Let's hope he gets up and flies away," the Aussie commentators told viewers on Wednesday.

Melbourne Stars fielder Rob Quiney was first on the scene and picked up the bird.

The 32-year-old cricketer was far from optimistic – signalling to officials on the sidelines to put the gull out of its misery. 

"Give him a cuddle Bobby," joked the Sky commentators, which can be heard in the viral video.

"Pick him up and give him a cuddle."

Men DO have the right to stand up and wee, rules German court

The finding was made when a landlord claimed his tenant had ruined a marble floor by sprinkling it with urine.

The disgruntled landlord tried to retain a €3,000 (£2,300) deposit for the damage allegedly caused by his guest's acidic spillage.

But Judge Stefan Hank today ruled that men who stand up to relieve themselves cannot be held to account for any collateral damage.

The Judge conceded that men who chose not to sit "must expect occasional rows with housemates, especially women".

However in Germany, the debate over whether men should stand in the toilet continues to rage. 

Some toilets in the country bear red traffic-style warnings signs – expressly forbidding the standing position.

"Sitzpinkler" – is a derogatory term used for men who decide to rest their legs and urinate.

The insult implies that sitting is not masculine behaviour.

"Despite growing domestication of men in this matter, urinating while standing up is still widespread," said Judge Hank in Court in the city of Duesseldorf today.
