Back in my day, Etch-A-Sketches were a way to teach children about the limitations society places upon their creativity. "Draw anything you want," they offered tauntingly, "As long as you can do it with two unintuitive knobs! One controls the x-axis and the other controls the y-axis, why, is that too difficult for your slowly developing spatial awareness to cope with? Oops, did you make a mistake? That's okay, you can erase the whole thing and start again!"

With this "freestyle" Etch-A-Sketch, children are taught they can draw whatever the hell they want, not just in black and white, but in a rainbow of noncompliance. I'm sorry, since when did we decide to raise our children to be damn commie anarchists?? This toy absolutely fails to teach them to compromise their creative integrity in order to integrate with society. But if you want to ruin your child's chance at becoming a successful strip mall architect, be my guest.

Spirograph (For Cool Kids)

Amazon

I don't care what that bully told me while submerging my head in toilet water. Spirographs are cool. The ability to produce perfect geometrical patterns with my own two hands made me feel like an entity that had transcended human imperfection. That same feeling of lofty superiority can belong to your children as well! They'll spend all their time staring at a piece of graph paper as their hand moves in flawless ellipses. "No mother, I do not desire SpaghettiOs" your child will say when prompted, voice devoid of human emotion. "SpaghettiOs hold no meaning to the God of perfection."

Kinex Roller Coaster Of Death Kit

Amazon

Have you heard of the "Euthanasia Coaster?" It was a conceptual piece by an art PhD that detailed the design of a roller coaster that ended in the rider's death, but not before feelings of "euphoria." The idea is to allow the riders one last thrill before death, which comes after cerebral hypoxia brought on by the massive amount of g-force. It was merely an art piece never meant to be put into practice, but that doesn't mean there's no hope for the future. Teach your own children to become Euthanasia Coaster designers with this K'NEX roller coaster building set! Your child's creativity and sense of whimsy finally have real life applications: the design and construction of a roller coaster that executes people. Your child won't even need an expensive engineering degree, as their "totally rad" designs will invariably result in a roller coaster that kills every single one of its riders. Please submit completed deigns to the U.S Justice Department for review.

Is he your hero? Make your dad feel like one with this "Magnetic Wristband" that can hold screws, nails, and other small chunks of metal. Your mild-mannered father will suddenly be transformed into a superhuman with the power to control metal. You will begin to notice changes in your father's demeanor, subtle at first. He'll start muttering things such as, "If only they knew my true power," and, "They'll see... they'll all see." He might start to come up with cute nicknames for himself, such as Magnetron, or Lord of Screws. "I'm scared," you will cry in terror, as your father levitates, with nails swarming nearby that are ready to do his bidding. "HI SCARED," he will reply. "I'M DAD."
