The Toy Tazer is perfect because for one, they’re dirt cheap at only $US3.40 and for two, it’s not that harmful at only 3.6V per shot (versus 50,000 in police tasers). Let your kid know what it feels like before he really gets tased, you know? It’s only good parenting. [Red Ferret via UberGizmo]

Let wind back to the TV B Gone episode.
This is just irresponsible.

Thursday, March 3, 2011 at 2:11 PMWhat is so irresponsible about it? Are you telling me that as a kid, you never touched your tongue to the contacts of a 9v battery to test if it was any good? I know I did plenty of times and it never seemed to cause me or my sister any harm.
In fact I’m wondering how this can manage to shock at all with such a low voltage, seems a bit odd.

I would suggest that 3.6V is not as bad a a severe ‘tickle’.
Better than the wooded spoon or belt us ‘oldies’ used to get….
