Mashed Potatos

07Oct07

What will they think of next?….I came across some interesting news from the Aussie aka Australia involving the famous childrens toy Mr. Potato Head and ecstasy. Story goes as follows:

SYDNEY, Australia (Oct. 4) – Customs officers discovered nearly 10.5 ounces of ecstasy tablets hidden inside a Mr. Potato Head toy sent to Australia from Ireland, the agency said Thursday.

Upon opening the parcel, the officers were greeted with the smiling face of the popular children’s toy, which features a potato-like head and removable facial features. But when they removed a panel from the back of the toy, the officers found 10.34 ounces of ecstasy in a plastic bag.

The Australian Customs Service referred the matter to federal police, but no arrests were immediately made, the agency said. The maximum penalty for importing drugs to Australia is life imprisonment.

This is amusing to me, of all the children’s toys they choose Mr. Potato Head! Brilliant! and kinda dumb?…….He does come with detachable parts! It’s surely not a surprise that the custom officers would think to start “detaching”…. Whoever is responsible for this should have thought to recruit the dude that sewed heroin in the baby blankets! OR the Heroin bags in the dogs stomachs! What will they think of next? At least they weren’t as stupid as Vick when he tried to hide “weed” in a water bottle.
