  What would you think of a toy like this?

If there was a little plush monster/animal toy that whimpered and said "Ow" when you threw or kicked it, what would you think?

I don't think about this toy at all.

It seems hostile to me -- kids are rather rough and hostile anyway, especially when younger, and this might make them more likely to harm an animal. In my opinion it appears to promote violence. I don't think they should be kicking or throwing their possessions around anyway, but that's just me.

I assume it must exist. Not really my thing, but amusing.

It's kind of funny, but I wouldn't want one. Not that I tend to throw or kick stuffed animals. But I would feel bad if I did something that made it say ow.

Cute and funny!

When I was young my sister had a doll that cried when you shook it and sucking noises when you stuck a bottle in her mouth, I had a ball with tossing it into the air and when it hit the ground it would cry. I know I am a bad dog. I will go hide under the bed.

Maybe not for a young child, at least a ten year old.

A toy that encourages abuse by being cute? Fudgeed up, that's what I think that is.
If the plush toy sent an electrical current that zapped the bully that threw it till the kids eyes bulged, that would be cool.

*check* It would be fun.
*check* It would be a healthy outlet. I would use it at work like a stress ball when a caller upsets me.

*check* I'd let a child play with it. When my kid was younger, she would have been upset by this toy. My dog finally just gave up on playing with toys because even as an infant, the kid would start crying if he bit them. She confiscated them as soon as she was old enough and he seemed to give up on her. She and I would have a lot of fun with it now. Probably the dog too.

*check* I want two!

I thought of this survey because we have a toy animal that you squeeze, and as the air goes back into the toy (after releasing) it makes this weird noise, supposed to be a roar, but sounds more like a whimpering sigh. Anyway, I found it in the kitchen, where I was busy. I squeezed it, threw it to the other room, and in flight, it whimper-sighed. I thought, now that would be an interesting toy. Whimpering from being thrown.

Other than the small possiblity that it may desensitize them to violence--- supposedly, I probabbly wouldn't give too much thought.

It sure would help. growling, counting to 10 or 20 kinda works. Anything that would keep me from punching holes in yjomnhs.. yes, it would also save my knuckles.Maybe just a hanging punching bag... lol

I WANT ONE!!!!!! That sounds cool... I would put it right next to my Horrible Hideous Fluffy the Zombie Bunny stuffed animal... Think it would be awesome... What is with the "it seems hostile"..what wuss would think that... No doubt some Looney Leftie type...

I wonder about that too. I never found it aggressive or hostile to use unbreakable objects to vent. If punching a pillow or throwing bean bags isn't hostile, then neither is throwing a toy that whimpers and says "ow".

I would try and play with it first. If I liked it I might bring my monster animal crazed son (the younger one) to the store and read his reaction. My guess is he'd love it.
