Did Play-Doh’s Penis-Shaped Toy ‘Ruin’ Christmas For Families Everywhere?

Outraged parents didn’t gain much traction back in November when they began complaining that the extruder for Play-Doh’s Cake Mountain toy looked too much like a penis. Hasbro, the company behind Play-Doh, took no steps to respond, other than to offer complaining parents replacement parts.

However, Play-Doh’s efforts to do damage control after Christmas may result in unintended publicity for the dildo-shaped toy. Play Doh is deleting Facebook posts on its site displaying the extruder, which of course only highlights the “problem.”

And it really, really does look like a penis.

On the other hand, some on Twitter are suggesting this is much ado about nothing.

After all, there are plenty of kids making Play Doh penises without any inspiration from an accessory.
