I was watching "Glee" (who is Josh Groban?) when the commercial for this toy came on. You cannot make this shit up!
I picture a 21 year old male intern sitting at a marketing meeting with a bunch of executive geezers and they ask around the room what they should call this bubbling balls toy and he's sitting there thinking "huhuhu! they said balls!" so he smirks and says "BUSY BALL POPPER!" and they think it's brilliant!
I rated it on the toys r us website just because I'm not being supervised and I have nothing better to do. I ate all the SherBERT:

Your Review:
Who was the genius that named this toy? No, really. Was it you, Beavis?
Pros:
Made me giggle. Threaten men?
Cons:
Confusing message. Why do I want to pop the balls? Are the balls evil? Can't we all just get along?
Best Uses:
To mock and use as blog fodder. But also to pop balls.
Describe Yourself:
Short, nice hair, carrying a little holiday weight. From 1999/2000-08. Possibly stoned.
Bottom Line:
Well, I want to buy it just so that I may set it in a dark corner of my room, point it out to people and ask "Would you like to play with my busy ball popper?"
I don't think they'll publish it though because:

It's a sad day when I can't send uncensored nonsense onto the Internet. I need Al Gore to come to my rescue! (Am I too late for the Al Gore jokes?)
P.S.
Andy just said this wasn't funny and I have a dirty mind. He's killing my buzz, man!
P.P.S.
No, seriously. Who is Josh Groban?
