Weapon of Mass Destruction seized at Canada/US border

A cross-border kerfuffle over a popular chocolate treat nearly cost a Winnipeg woman a $300 fine and saddled her with a bureaucratic headache.

Lind Bird was recently stopped at the U.S. border and selected for a random search of her vehicle. She was warned she could have faced a fine after the customs official found — and seized — her $2 Kinder Surprise egg as illegal contraband.

Way to go, America. In 5 years you're going to have to wrap your children in bubble wrap or face serious jail time if you don't comply, when all is said and done. Kinder Surprise...... Ho-LAY shee-it! :rolleyes:

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

KINDER EGGS ARE DELICIOUS.
WHO THE FUCK BANS DELICIOUS KINDLER EGGS? FUCKING LEGO IS SMALLER THAN THOSE TOYS.
WHAT THE FUCK!

I wanted to make a sarcastic post defending the actions of the border patrol and explaining the importance of keeping chocolate eggs out of our country, but then I read that the lady was sent a seven page form asking for authorization to destroy the Kinder Egg and there's really no way I can make a snarky post that would be funnier than the fact that such a thing ever happened.

See THIS is why the other countries are laughing at us.

My girlfriend 1 trillion percent agrees with you.

[Magus]

No other toy that could choke a small child was ever sold to them.

Except at McDonald's and in those gumball machines and so on. But other than that.

Maybe it is it's perfect shape for becoming lodged in the throat and its plastic texture which makes the Kinder Egg toy capsule so deadly.

[Bells]

Kinder is really good, but i liked back in the day when they were cheaper.

...and had those Awesome small metal figures.

.... i still have the Full Turtle collection. And half the Hippos.

[Magus]

Are you an immortal and somehow survived the danger inherent in these eggs, Bells?

[Torque]

I once choked on an ice cube
BAN ICE!
AND WATER!

edit:
Also have you fuckers never heard of like... Cracker Jacks? And Breakfast cereal??? Also, someone mentioned Lego... Yeah... Lego is a veritable DEATH TRAP!

[Bells]

No you see, eating too many of these actually makes you immortal... or kills'ya. There are variables to it.....

But c'mon!

I Wonder if that might not be worth something to a collector.

[RobinStarwing]

So list of things that are Weapons of Mass Destruction...

Kinder Eggs
Ice Cubes
Legos


Now, how about the other WMD?

I'm evil, aren't I?

What was that? Sorry did you say something??

[Bells]

I'm evil, aren't I?

Horny, Sweetheart. The word is horny.

[Bard The 5th LW]

I think the officials were justified.

Kinder had some pretty freaky adverts back in the day. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOFRIWx5F9c)

[RobinStarwing]

Horny, Sweetheart. The word is horny.

How about we say I am an Evil Horny Dragon and leave it at that?

Also, that ad is freaky! O_O

[Thadius]

Whelp, there goes the latest fuel for the missile. Note to self, teminate underling #567. [/sarcasm]

I actually think we're looking at this wrong. It's not that she wasn't allowed by our own inane rules to bring it into the US, although I wouldn't be surprised if that happens real soon.

The Canadians are keeping Kidner Eggs from us and only us.

The solution is simple.

INVADE CANADA FOR THEIR DELICIOUS CHOCOLATE.

DO YOU NOT REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME?! THEY MIGHT COME TO FINISH THE JOB!!!

Although... Canadian women are hot...

[RobinStarwing]

So we are going to blame Canada for this news story? What else can we blame them for? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAYMJnO9LBQ)

Yeah...200 years ago when you were a British Colony! We still won that war! :D

[phil_]

Also have you fuckers never heard of like... Cracker Jacks?Cracker Jack prizes are bullshit. I'm eating Cracker Jacks right now. You wanna know what the prize was? It was a slip of paper with ants drawn on it. It's supposed to be a pencil topper. This is no pencil topper! It's a slip of paper with holes in it! It's not even good paper!

So yeah, Cracker Jack prizes aren't a choking hazard, because Cracker Jacks have no prizes. Just lies and peanuts.

[Krylo]

Cracker Jacks used to have actual toys. Little rings, toy spiders, etc.

[Aldurin]

YOU . . .

WILL . . .

NOT . . .

TAKE . . .

MY . . .

FOOD!!!

[Archbio]

Clearly, everybody won that war. Except the Indians.

And Napoleon.

Fifty something years ago. People in the past get all the best stuff, free-love hippies, Stan Lee, samurai, Lead Paint, Asbestos, bob Marley, Jimmy Hendricks, Bob Dylan, Funk music, Robert Johnson, Selling your soul to the devil for blues stardom, all the best stuff.

More like 15-20 years ago. I remember getting actual toys when I was a kid.

[Premmy]

Yeah, but you're OLLLLLLLLLDD

Sadly most of America also agrees with me. That's REALLY saying something.

Yeah, that. I was just lamenting to my father the other day about how shitty it was that our church's old playground was replaced with a bunch of plastic and rubber equipment. When I was young, we had rusted steel and splintered wood to play on and jagged gravel to fall on when our little arms finally gave out over the ten to fifteen foot tall monkey bars or we fell (see: jumped) off the twenty-ish foot tall metal slide that spent all summer soaking in the suns rays to become a fiery hotplate of pain if you actually slid down it.

.....I miss those days the most. :3:

...Stupid kids and their friggen plastic toyland with its shredded tire astro-turf. :mad:

#1, they are Italian chocolates.

#2, Americans think kinder is delicious chocolate?

*Gasp* You have Namnam! My entire childhood was spent hunting for that melon chompin' bastard! He was the only thing keeping me from a full collection! Damn you! Damn you all!

On topic, Oh you crazy Americans.

All these goddamn crumbs at the bottom of the bag. Let me eat you, Cracker Jacks!

[Meister]

I Wonder if that might not be worth something to a collector.
Most of the turtles go for €3, some go up to €16; the star of the series is the one in the snorkel mask, who goes for up to €130 (~ $170) but originally came with a springboard made from a separate part and half a capsule. The prices tend to be high for figures complete with their small easily lost accessories but plummet back to a more reasonable level once you lose them.

See I was gonna post a joke in response to Prems comment, but since I don't want to encourage him, I'll just say that I've got a one year old niece. She's gotten the customary one year old gifts at Christmas, a teddy bear hat, I gave her The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh, my brother got her the A. A. Milne books...

But when she's older I'm taking her to Toys 'R Us. And then it'll be Toys 'R you know, I've got no good puns, she's just gonna get spoiled.
