Precarious Playthings

Controversial Photoshopped Children's Toys

Bad playthings can be funny and a bit disturbing, as depicted in these photoshopped pictures from a recent Photoshop contest.

Photoshopping continues to be an amusing pastime and an idyllic delivery method. No matter what you use it for, Photoshopping provides Internet users with constant entertainment value.

All of these images were recently submitted by Photoshop users and are not real products--with the exception of the Wolverine blow-up toy, which had certain kids' toy advocates in an uproar.
