Bzzzzz

What's all the buzz about?

I would say something like, "I'll bet there'll be a lot o' bzzzzy beavers clamoring to get a hold of one of these things," but I'm not that crass.

Be sure to scroll down to read the Amazon "Spotlight Reviews" for some real gems.

Enjoy!

Are parents really this clueless? Please tell me these reviews are a joke. "I'm just so surprised at how much my 12 year old daughter and her friends LOVE this toy!!" Gee, do ya think?

And here I thought parents aren't really idiots, just misunderstood by their children. Oh, my aching innocence!

Thats...just..odd...
Even the name Nimbus 2000 sounds like a sex toy. I guess the creaters were trying to get some kids to experiment with their "imaginations". The best comment is "even my 17 year old daughter loves it"...heh heh.

Hmmmm, didn't I hear that Jodi was going to dress up as a witch for Halloween this year?

My birthday is only a few short months away ... and I've already stockpiled the batteries.

I wonder if the toy's creators realized that girls would be the primary users!

You'd think they were pulling fast ones on their parents, but from these reviews, the parents seem to know what the attraction is...

The Nimbus 2000 must have been designed by Judith Levine

I was wondering why Lauren bought one since she's never read the books.
