Flaming Ball Banned

Posted June 18, 2008 - By Stephen Johnson

Killjoys in the Australian government have banned the most exciting, dumbest toy we've ever heard of.

The Fire Footbag is a soccer ball hacky-sack made of flame-retardent material meant to be lit on fire and kicked around by lucky children. Apparently, some feel this might be somewhat dangerous.

"The Fire Footbag essentially becomes a flaming missile which presents extreme safety risks for people who could quite easily be burned by the footbag once it's been set alight," South Australian Consumer Affairs Minister Jennifer Rankine said. "The Fire Footbag clearly presents significant health and safety risks."

We must urge you not to try and make your own at home. That would be stupid. Burning is bad times.
