Who thinks of these toys?!

Okay, today I was checking out a nearby thrift shop when my roomie and I came across this toy. Soon as I saw it I just had to buy it out of sheer hilarity. Imagine, your son's/daughter's birthday is coming up and they ask for an action figure. Now any normal parent would probably buy a Superman, Spiderman, or even Wolverine figure, hell even a Transformer! But for some odd reason they think a kid would enjoy getting an action figure of a librarian, yes, a librarian. Modeled after a real-life librarian in Seattle, WA. the "Nancy Pearl" is a librarian action figure with amazing "shushing" action!

Seriously... What. The. Hell? I might see this as a perfect gift for a child with potential in scholastic learning but even they'd probably enjoy a brand new book than an action figure of a librarian. What cracks me up more is reading the "With amazing shushing action" phrase right on the package. But I ask you, who thinks up these toys? I've heard of educational toys but this toy is just... ridiculous... I'm debating if I want to strap it to a firework and just blow it up for the hell of it, keep it as a novelty item, or send it to these guys.

When I get to it I'll try uploading a few pictures of the toy. But for now, just click the link at the top.

The links aren't working for me but the idea is funny. Maybe its meant to be humorous?
