Ewww, the hair thing is just... weird. Who would buy that?

Apparently there is a bidder.

OMGosh, this brings back horrible memories from my childhood. My parents had a paddle that was specifically made for discipline, too. It had some kind of pictures on it when I was little, but after four kids they got worn off.

Sadly, whoever said it's illegal to sell such things, is wrong. There is no law in the US against spanking your kid, with a paddle or otherwise.

If you search "spanking paddle" on ebay you'll find TONS of sick, sick paddles for sale! Even leather ones. : Here's a link:

I don't know what good reporting them would do, but it's worth a try!!!

I don't think selling human hair is illegal in the US. Some wigs and extentions are sold made from human hair. They are expensive and that is why there is locks of love. I have an aquantaince that had her own hair made into a wig when she had cancer.

I do think it is a little weird to sell the hair like this but there are weirder things like the paddles. I do see people that would want or need the hair.

This is totally off-topic, but I thought it would give all of you a good laugh! Some people must just have more money than they know what to do with these days.

After seeing this, I told my husband that maybe I should start selling "lucky" tampons on Ebay for $100 a piece!!!!! (really kidding by the way)

I know that it is legal to spank, but is it legal to use soap in a child's mouth? That is sooo discusting!!! I was abused as a three-four-year-old child, and the mouth-soap treatment was a part of it (among many other worse things). It was many years before I could stand the smell of soap without gagging. I hope no one ever even thinks about doing it!!
post #49 of 57
The soap is in bad taste but it is listed as being a gag and she says a few times not to use it on children, so I don't think it is too bad.

The paddles are just sad. It's sad to think anyone would use an object to hit a child, it's bad enough to use your open hand, but a thick wooden board? Just sad.

Now, that shirt.... I don't even have words. It is now up to $278 with 5 days left. Some pour sucker is spending all that money on an ugly plaid button up shirt. Heck I could probably sell my lucky bra for double that.

ETA Oh yeah the hair. I don't see the big deal with the hair. Why is it wrong to sell it? There are two hair auctions by the same seller. It looks like both her and her daughter cut their hair and are selling it. Why is that so bad? It's no worse than selling cloth diapers to pay for Christmas instead of donating them to a charity. Or a better example is knitting soakers and selling them. It took them a long time to grow out their hair and keep it in good shape (no perms, dyes, etc.) just like it takes a lot of time to knit a soaker. That's just my take on it at least.

Good news, the granny paddle auction ended without it selling and the religious paddle seems to be gone. It said it's an invalid item when I click the link. Anyone else notice that?

Crazy! And that shirt is ugly....................not turning me on!
post #53 of 57
Yeah the religious one is gone...I told dh about it...he said..."Oh great, what do you tell your kid...'not only am I going to beat you...I'm going to beat you with God!'"

I don't understand people sometimes. My mom used a hairbrush on me. one of the stiff bristled ones. I remember one time in particular she forgot to use the back of the brush and hit me with the bristles. ouch.

Um... is anyone else getting the impression that this is more of a *fetish* item than an actual disciplinary tool?

I don't think that it would have a granny painted on it if it was for that purpose.

The thought that anyone would use this stuff on kids is just sick, twisted, and illegal (at least in the United States). The fact that they mention in their ads to use it on children just makes me want to scream, find these people, and show them what it feels like to have someone beat your butt with a paddle the way they would use this on a kid! I mean, what kid of sick and twisted

Nope not illegal. Maybe in a few states, but not country wided, and not in most states. REally sad isn't it?
