They put the wrong toys in that box. "Terminal playset" should be an ICU, with a ventilator, and a neurologist action figure. Accessories include a bright flashlight, a safety pin, and a syringe full of cold water. It would be really cool if the neurologist action figure was a bobble-head, with moving eyes.
Yes, it does need a new name. Too funny. Christmakuh, however, is great! I had some friends in college who had a Jewish father and a Episcopalian mother. Every year we'd all show up at their house where we would gather around the tree and eat cookies with the Star of David on them.
Unfortunate product naming. Where's the TSA Screener? Maybe there's a strip-search add-on available from the company website.
ReplyDeleteI think only someone in the medical profession would make that connection!
ReplyDeleteWell, it is called a terminal.

ReplyDeletenot a gift for make-a-wish. and i think it is more of a lay term than one used by health care professionals.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, nope! That name is perfect!
ReplyDelete"Airport" or "Concourse" probably would have been better ... but I suppose it is called an airport terminal...

ReplyDeleteConsidering all the little bits in it, I think the name is appropriate.
ReplyDelete"You'll never want to play with another toy again!"
ReplyDeleteAges 3 and up...I am 3 and up!
ReplyDeleteActually, that would be a good name for "Operation."
ReplyDeleteBombing Beirut?
ReplyDelete"Terminal Playset: When you're hoping they won't make it to four."
ReplyDeleteMaybe they mean the playset itself won't last very long. Which in my household it probably wouldn't.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a memo many years ago in a hospital concerning a new computerized patiant scheduling system for the radiation therapy department:
ReplyDeletePlease refrain from refering to the computer input devices as
"Terminals".
Where is the Dr Kavorkian Action Figure?!
ReplyDeleteBut why buy a new one when there are so many used ones on eBay?
ReplyDeleteBwahahahahaha. Thanks for the giggle!!
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious. That's almost as good as the "Barbie loves Woody" doll from Toy Story 3
ReplyDeleteIt is, obviously, the last playset you will ever need.
ReplyDeleteComplete with lead paint and asbestos!
ReplyDeleteI've never laughed so hard at comments in my life. Thanks for the fun!
ReplyDeleteIs "terminal playset" an new euphemism for "choking hazard"?
ReplyDeleteMy hubby grew up in a town whose downtown included the "Terminal Drugstore" -- right next to the train station, 'natch.
ReplyDeletemost 3 yr olds can't read, so do not stress about the package or what it is called.
