    “The plastic knife toy, which is shaped like a carrot”

    They got some real weird shaped carrots in South Korea.

      Like an unhinged, impoverished dictatorship with nukes within artillery range of your capital?

        Will at least their unhinged dictator isn’t running the capital like we’ve experienced recently.

          I think I must have misunderstood you - you can’t mean you’d rather have Kim Jong Un running the country than Biden?

              I mean Trump is almost certainly the worst president in history, but I’d still prefer him to the Kims any day.

    I don’t know what type of carrots they have, but those do not look like carrots that I have.

    What about finger guns? Like using your index finger and thumb as a gun. That’s violent behaviour.

    If this plastic fiddle-toy dingus is a “concern,” these people are going to shit absolute brick if they see what I’ve got in my desk drawer.

    Seriously, the hand-wringing over something like this is just sheer whacking off by people whose lives are so cushy they don’t actually have anything legitimate to complain about.

        Yeah at first I thought about how I had a toy army knife growing up, then realized that’s a very American toy to have lmao. I do think though that making this a big deal is just adding to its popularity. Kids only think it’s cooler since their parents are freaking out.

    Remember, kids, if someone shows up to school with a paper knife, run, hide, fight in that order.

    Lmao I’ve only seen this toy in Korean memes where people print them super sized and instead of the blade it has a phone holder. I had no idea it was supposed to be a knife blade.

    That is to say, the Korean youth already has the ridicule of this story covered.

      The article says

      The plastic knife toy, which is shaped like a carrot, is made of fluorescent materials and available in different colours.

      Is there more to it than that?

        Well, that makes them like the edge of a freezie pop. Those are dangerous.

        I don’t think plastic would cut so well as it does in the article’s video, but maybe it’s not the only schematic.

        Looks like the toy is plastic, but you can print and make ones out of paper (or cardstock?)

        Seems about as violent as foam noodle swords?

      Enough paper cuts and a human can bleed out. They have a right to be concerned. Should go back to hitting each other with sticks and rocks they find outside like I used to do as a kid.
