The premise of this game? Form and load play-doh poop pellets into the toy dachsund's mouth. Position pooper scooper under the dog's butt. Roll the dice. Squeeze the leash button the number of times shown on the dice. Each squeeze pushes air into the dachshund, moving the poop through its system until...surprise! Doggie doo doo comes out of the other end. The first person to collect three lumps of poop on their pooper scooper wins.
What's the appeal of this game (besides the obvious)? The wiener dog makes fart noises the entire time the poop is passing through the digestive tract and the dog's tail shakes anxiously the entire time. (Because apparently there is nothing more exciting that taking a dump.) You can purchase this game on the website http://www.petmyweiner.com/. It's recommended for children ages 4 and up.
Still not convinced? Here's a commercial advertising this product:
First off, I am not going to a website called petmyweiner.com to purchase anything...let alone a gift for my child. Secondly, who are the parents purchasing this game? Who is buying their child a toy that demonstrates: 1) doggie doo doo is fun to play with; 2) doggie doo doo is just like play-doh; and 4) what comes out of doggie's butt goes back into his mouth. Probably the same parents who are teaching their kids that farting is hilarious. No thanks, I will stick with the Smart Pup by VTech this year. I'm pretty sure it doesn't encourage your kids to play with dog poop.
