"What were they thinking?"

Oh, boy. I'd never have believed it if I hadn't seen it. Here's what they're saying about the Harry Potter Nimbus 2000 Broom on Amazon:

"Enhancing the excitement are the vibrating effects and magical swooping and whooshing sounds the broom makes..."

"Even my daughter's friends enjoy playing with this fun toy. I was surprised at how long they can just sit in her room and play with this magic broomstick!"

"My only problem I see with the toy is the batteries drain too fast..."

"My oldest daughter (17) really likes it too!"

Are you going to tell them, or shall I?
