I feel like I'm somehow not allowed to comment on the Weeblock, this super absorbant codpiece meant to prevent little baby boys from peeing all over your face during diaper changes. I'm not allowed because I have girls. But come on, even you parents of boys think these are ever so ridiculous, right?
I mean, props to the dad who saw a problem and come up with a solution, but what am I missing? Wouldn't a washcloth accomplish the same thing, just without all the urination double entendre ("Whiz Kid," "Puttin' on the Spritz") and super-hero references ("Wee Wee Man")? Where's the one with face paint and matching sequin studs spelling "Piss" for fans of Gene Simmons?
The best/most overboard part is that you can purchase it as a part of an entire Parent Protection kit, which includes burp cloths and bibs. Isn't this just inviting an audience into the private affair of diaper changing? If you spent $9.95 on this, you'd surely be tempted to drag out this pee-pee sponge to show friends, who won't care and might be a little grossed out besides.
That said, couldn't you look at that kid in his cape and Weeblock all afternoon?
Worth noting: the arbiters of good baby taste over at Droolicious weren't impressed either. What pissers.
