Are Webkinz Tools Of The Devil?

[SPKrazy]

:rofl: :rofl:

I have only recently been introduced to Webkinz

http://www.webkinz.com/us_en/

my son got a couple of them the other night. He now can log onto their web site and it is like a virtual world for him, and he wants more webkinz.

:shrug:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


I didn't even know what the hell he was talking about the other day.

Now I know un poquito about webkinz. I'm sure to learn more.

It takes his mind off Sponge Bob, but on the other hand, it takes his mind off his homework too :P

1. oh good god, my niece was hooked on that all of last year, i had an intervention

for her, Now she's on Roonscape? whatever the hell that is.

[SPKrazy]

2. Oh lord

I'm scared now :scared:

[AlCzervik]

3. oh yeah, you can even buy the stuffed animals or lumps or whatever they are.

it seems to be a certain age that really digs that stuff and then they move on. My daughter was a huge fan a website that had all imaginary animals and then she hit right around 11 1/2 and poof, that was over.

[SPKrazy]

5. He has two animals so far

and wants more of course

:eyes:

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

8. of course! catch it in the early stages!

[SPKrazy]

10. Wonder if a shotgun would do the trick to shred them?

:P

:rofl:

21. Are you saying that Webkinz are a "gateway drug"?

:scared:

4. You have no idea....

Your best course of action right now would be to tell him it went out of business and never let him on it again. It will save you heartache in the long run, trust me.

[AlCzervik]

6. excellent advice!

[SPKrazy]

9. Like I have that ability

I didn't buy the danged things for him in the first place and "all my friends have them" :eyes:

[AlCzervik]

11. than prepare for a trip to "Limited too" which is a clothes store for tween girls

i wish you luck and i really want to see a pic of the two of you if you go there. i imagine it's going to look something like this----:wow: :scared:

[SPKrazy]

12. I'm hoping my son doesn't go there

or want to :scared:


:wow:

[SPKrazy]

7. That is my fear

I love your sig line

:thumbsup:

13. It's funny that they pick up their clothes & toys in Webkinz world!

And..they can't stuff it all into their dresser drawers either. I watched my granddaughter attempt that in her virtual room..had to secretly laugh because it wouldn't allow her to throw everything in dresser. Tee Hee. Too bad it doesn't work like that in the real world.

Do you know they can invite friends/relatives with webkinz too. My two granddaughters and several of each of their classmates have all invited each other.

Hope your little guy has fun.

[SPKrazy]

14. He seems to be having a blast right now

hope that continues :D

15. Nah, they're just wannabes.

Pokemon were the originals.

Gotta catch 'em all... that's a subtle attempt to inspire our children to commit all seven of the deadly sins.

[AlCzervik]

16. we have so many freakin pokemon cards still and another other show, it's not monsters

but it was kind of cartoon, like yoogy something or other, tins of those cards and "The special ones" that got their own plastic sleeve. My daughter is now 13 1/2 and hasn't even looked at them in at least 3 years. I wonder if those shows are still popular and if so i should find some youngin to give those cards to.

[DarkTirade]

17. Yu-gi-o, I believe is the name.

And it's one of the dumbest cartoons of its sort that I've seen in a LONG time. They take their card playing a little too seriously.

[AlCzervik]

18. i'm really glad she's moved on and i totally dodged the Barney bullet and she's too

old for Hannah Montana or at least she's not in to that type of show and music----thank goodness.

19. They are a small indoctrination to the total evil that is Club Penguin.

Or Stardoll.
If I were you , I would run for my life....no, I would run screaming for my life.

20. We have not gone there yet

At our big school fundraiser, the kids bringing in the most money got to choose prizes... among them were Webkinz and K was lower on the list and all the Webkinz were gone.

She got "Moon Shoes" and was thrilled.

She still wants a Webkinz.
