Fluffy handcuffs, nipple tickler, lace G-string combo set. For kids

**Hellsbells** · November 3rd, 2010, 02:14 PM

G-strings, feather ticklers and other "blue" items being sold in the children's aisle of a Palmerston North knick-knack store have caused some parents to see red.

Palmerston North mother-of-four Rochelle Parker was shocked to find an array of fluffy handcuffs, as well as combo packs containing a G-string, feather tickler and handcuffs, being displayed in the children's toy section at Barris on Broadway.

"I'm offended. I wouldn't like to bring my daughters in this shop at all," she said.

Mrs Parker alerted the shop's owner, known only as Barri, when she was there on Friday. She asked for the items be moved to behind the counter.

"I told him I would just be horrified to bring my children in here while those are on display where they are," she said.

When she went into the shop again on Monday she said the handcuffs had not been moved from the shelves and the G-string packs had been moved to the next aisle over.

Mrs Parker said she was `just mortified' to see what she considered `sex toys' still in the children's aisle.

"I asked him, how many other parents have been offended by this?"

When the Manawatu Standard contacted Barri on Monday he refused to give his surname, but said he did not think the items were inappropriate.

"I think the parents need to take responsibility for their children, not the shop. We don't sell BB guns to children, we don't sell alcohol to under 18-year-olds ... but for the shop, the toy might be for a three-year-old child. Plus, the parents buy for the children," he said.

The adult items were still in the children's aisles when the Standard visited the shop yesterday morning.

New Zealand Retailers Association CEO John Albertson said while placement of stock was up to the store owner, it would be wise to listen to his customers' complaints

Fascinating. We in the good old USA are so puritanical. This must be a case of differing cultural standards. Just imagine what you could find in the children's toys in places like Thailand.

(Joking, folks)

I find it distasteful for a children's toy but the guy makes a good point the parents would be the ones purchasing it for the child. So don't buy it!

**62julietandvoid** · November 3rd, 2010, 04:18 PM

I am BY FAR NOT A PRUDE, but that is sickening. Ticklers n stuff are boring, but still.

So, they have fluffy handcuffs but no Pocket Pussy by Hasbro for ages 5 and up?

What exactly is a nipple tickler, and is it only good for tickling nipples or can it tickle other areas as well?

Feather/feathers. I made my own, and you do tickle other parts of the body. Boring toy.

Fuck that, my guy/girl better come at me armed with a hellofa lot more than a damn flimsy feather.

**brokenandtwisted** · November 3rd, 2010, 04:49 PM

I see nothing wrong with this. Just don't buy the items.

Knives work well.

Are you still pissed off because I wouldn't show you my tits?

**brokenandtwisted** · November 3rd, 2010, 04:57 PM

No, dear, I'm quite serious. Knives make for interesting sex toys.

They should cover all their bases and sell candy cigarettes too. Nothing more aggravating after prepubescent bondage sex than discovering you're out of smokes.

Ha! I long forgot about those(but still have memories!). I remember years ago there was a big stink about them. Are those still available?

Took the words right out of my mouth. This stuff IS sold for kids in Thailand and many other places. I done seen it. Unimaginable here, commonplace there.
There are no rules.

As a matter of fact, yes. They have them at Amazon.com.

Isn't Thailand a hotbed for child sex trading?

My son's friend stopped by with his Halloween bounty and he had a "pack" in there. Of course he's 19 so who knows where he got it from.

Hotbed isn't even the word. Anything goes. You want a 6 year boy or girl? No problem.
Just ask.
In fact, half the worlds pedos want to go there because it is all treated with a blind eye.
Bankok and other cities in Thailand are swarming with old men posing as tourists and they are there for only one reason.

Great article! If you get busted for drugs there MONEY TALKS. Ive seen people who have sweetened the boys in brown with 25,000 baht and they are good. Huge snitch network. with drugs. you buy a little weed, 10 minutes later your busted. Buy a little girl, that's ok. Now that's fucked up. Lots of trafficking on the shores and they depend on that to a degree, Drugs on the street, beware..

**62julietandvoid** · November 4th, 2010, 08:17 PM

Yeah, that's what I meant, kill you for a little weed but you can rape children. It's a fucked up world.

**Silvahalo** · November 4th, 2010, 11:07 PM

How disgusting, can hardly believe such a thing is made and it appears to be manufactured and marketed for children.

"I think the parents need to take responsibility for their children, not the shop.

Sure, parents need to be responsible but as long as it makes a buck it's ok to make/sale such a thing to children? nah, don't think so. Everyone involved is responsible, passing the responsibility like the shop is innocent, stupid thing to say.
WTF, like children aren't sexualized enough.

That's exactly how I see it; if you don't like it, don't buy it; you don't like the display, don't go to the store. Besides, if this display were removed it could lead to some sexually frustrated midgets.

I see a lot wrong with it. I had wonder woman spiffies and tank, those plastic high heels, and i went topless when ever I was swimming until the age of 4, but this is VERY suggestive. It pretty much say's it's OK to see children in a sexual way. Sure, even I can quickly see the loophole with the cuffs and tickler but the thongs by itself gives it all away. Now all that together? Thongs and all that crap don't cover much. What DO thongs imply?

**gee** · November 5th, 2010, 03:04 PM

This display isn't going to a make pedophile and any normal person isn't going to see a child in a sexual way because of this junk. It is distasteful but I just think it reflects badly on the store owner.

I think it reflects poorly on our society allowing children to be seen in a suggestive light.
Is this one step away from normalizing kid porn? It certainly ain't step away.
