Never trust a robot with anal beads and a fixed grinA flying car? Your pants are on firePublished Sunday 14th October 2007 08:02 GMT Amazon has been contributing to the downfall of all that is decent and proper, by flogging anal beads to the young and impressionable. Unsuspecting nippers who innocently searched the site for a Spiderman watch were subjected to an entry for the foul playthings, which were rather disquietingly filed under "Used & New". You joined us in registering your outrage: "1 Used & New for 2.99" Used? Yuck... New? Yuck too... Perhaps they're ultra-dense for maximum satisfaction. My Grandad had a watch like that! His father bought it in a little general store in Knoxville, Tennessee. He wore it everyday during the first world war and bequeathed it to my father. My father wore it in WWII. He was shot down over Hanoi and put in a Vietnamese prison camp. He looked at that watch as my birthright and knew it would be confiscated so he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide something....I'll get me coat! A man, evidently kept on a tight leash, has placed his car up for sale because he bought it "without proper consent from the wife". Some of you doubted the ad's veracity, but others felt more like dissing the poor bloke: Stupid bloke. If I were him, I would divorce the missus and keep the car.
