I cannot imagine what they were smoking at the candy factory board meeting when they approved this thing:

If ever there were a lesson in not clicking links on the Saga site, this be it!

I shall have nightmares and I'm not even asleep.

Strangely enough, the name he mentioned was Obi-Wan. I didn't pursue it.

I suspect a Jedi mind trick made you think that. Resist, my friend, resist!

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when a geek's joke idea gets mixed in with serious product pitches......or at least I hope that's the explanation behind this....because if someone pitched this thinking it was actually a good idea.....yeah.  :exXO: :-[

Wise.

And just bizarre candy.  Happily Amazon is nearly out of stock.

It goes well with other merchandise like Avengers Dildos (http://io9.com/these-avengers-dildos-are-presumably-earths-mightiest-1111237515).
The Hulk one is bestseller  ;)

halfling nudes, jar jar... i kinda had to post that  ::)
Also I'd raise my children to know about these things, but that's another discussion.
over here, we have different censorship, less focused on sexuality more focused on *censored*, but with same issues.
