Cabbage Patch Riots

[Bruce Tomlin]

In this, a Christmas without a riot-worthy merch, we should remember Coleco's other blockbuster product.

Yep, lived through the debacle that was the Cabbage Patch bastards. Think about it... they never had parents and were supposed to be adopted from a traditional channel (one would think), but then they had Cabbage Patch hospitals where kids could see them being born?!? WTF? lol

 

BTW: I loved how disparagingly a light the newscaster 'cast' them in. Really was quite an embarrassing phenomenon. Not unlike being trampled on Black Friday at a Wal-Mart

I still remember the riot at Polo Park in Winnipeg. The Free Press headling read "RIOTS IN BABYLAND!" I needed 16 years of therapy to get over that one...

I remember thinking WTF at the time and also "what's all the fuss about".

There should be a game called Cabbage Patch Riot.

Why, on why, would you bring your child to that???? I felt so bad for that little girl at the end of the video, and so mad at her mother!

At these types of situations/events,parents are often WORSE than the kids themselves.

True but how could you like these things burn them a but and give them some stiches and they'd look like chucky.
