Photos of a supposedly
new inflatable toy by comic book and film giant Marvel made the
rounds this morning -- a blow-up Wolverine doll with a
strategically placed inflation tube right on his crotch.
But further digging
confirms the toy is a hoax hatched by the clever folks
over at
The Onion
's affiliate website
ChristWire.org
.
ChristWire purported to
respond to Marvel's alleged inflatable toy in a spoof
article excerpted here -- "We might as well line our
children up and burn them ourselves! If we make these types of
devil-pleasing acts OK, they will all be burning in the fire
lakes anyways... What's next? The Wonder Woman
lollipop?"
