Here is the box for a game called Wok ‘N Roll, which was spotted in Kay Bee Toy Store in Gilroy, California.
You really have to wonder if there was even a moment’s hesitation on the part of the people who signed off on this design.

So write a letter to the company to complain. Seems the most sensible thing to do.

Police say CU freshman bought big-ticket items cheap after printing his own labels

Boulder - Jonathan Baldino might be off the “nice” list.
Police say Baldino used homemade bar codes to buy electronic gadgets at prices far below any legitimate discount. The 19-year-old is facing three counts of being naughty - one of them a Class 5 felony.
Baldino was detained by Target security Wednesday after he purchased a $150 iPod with a bar-code label of $4.99.
Baldino, a freshman electrical-engineering student at the University of Colorado, told police that he made phony bar codes from real bar codes taken from inexpensive merchandise, then glued those bar codes on to big-ticket items at Target, according to the police report.
Baldino’s alleged holiday caper actually worked - once.
December 15th, 2005 at 1:53 pmI see a bunch of these types of things. Never bother to mention them. I once saw a big sign on a restaurant wall that had a yellow squinty eyed chicken with a Japanese flag headband with a quote, “We use REAL oriental chicken!” No joke. I couldn’t believe my freaking eyes. And this is America, folks.
