Consumerist.com is concerned about these Singaporean Play-Doh ads:

Reminds me of a play from the '80s (The Largest Elizabeth in the World) that opens with the sound of screaming children running away offstage, because the pissed-off teenager the play is about was handing out slivers of apple in razor blade cases for halloween treats.
