From the "Review" section of the product page...

"This quality kids timepiece is made from the highest quality materials, to deal with all the ruff and tumble that kids can throw at it. Also enabling kids to learn the time, a good all round gift."

A little digging 

Paris Hilton

If you do a bit of surfing around you might come across (no pun intended) their 'Extra Strong Waterproof Vibrator' the need for which I am at a loss to explain until you go down a little further to the 'Customers viewing this page may be interested in the following sponsored links' the first one asks: 'Wet Basement?'

It stands to reason that you would need a waterproof vibrator if you had a wet basement. I wonder if Paris Hilton suffers from that problem.

My Grandad had a watch like that! 

Coat

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!

Read the review 

OMG - nearly coughed up my spleen laughing when I read the review:

Bought this for my son, he loves it.

Thanks very much.

Try the gag too

- A nice gift to your moter! 

Coat

"- A nice gift to your mother! She'll just love it!". That's what the text should read.

Looks like someone bought them. 

The beads that is, either that or amazon is buggered. Proof that advertising does work. So own up - which el reg reader bought them.

Is it just me.... 

Coat

....Or are todays kids the butt of all jokes...

Ash

Ok.. 

i admit it, i bought them. But i'm sending them back sharpish, as not only do they not tell the time, they look nothing like Spiderman.

bez

fumbled rectification.......... 

Thumb Up

It would appear they have attempted to rectify* the situation - the name is gone and the product unavailable, but the photo is still there?!

Does anyone know if amazon actually has an adult section at all? I'm not about to check at work!

B.T.W. I thought the "comment icons" were pretty pointless at first but it appears they can be quite appropriate at times.

* pffffft

Lisa Westveld

Funny... 

Coat

They have also one "used and new" for sale... Only £2.99... :-)

Christopher Webb

It might not be available now... 

Thumb Up

...but it still has a 5 star rating!

Mind you, I'm worried. What sort of person buys USED anal beads? :o/

Slaine

Gotta love Amazon 

Joke

People who bought this item also bought...

mmm - lube perhaps?

Clicking on the link now takes you to a selection of spiderman watches, and... a 12 pack of Madonna Condoms, for £303.19. For that price, do you get Madonna with them?

For those looking for another IT link -

Clicking on the link for the condoms and then going down (sorry) to the line: "Customers viewing this page may be interested in these Sponsored Links" finds a spyware-prevention site selling "5 Trojan removers". A little fine tuning of search categories needed, perhaps?
