LOL!

Some of you guys are WAY too serious. Original post was posted semi-jokingly and for amusement about how ridiculous it was. READ the original CNN.com article and look at how they slid "Chinese made" into it so gratuitously. It's OBVIOUSLY biased reporting (from CNN? How shocking!) Whether the glow sticks were made in China, Hawaii, Detroit or the North Pole has NOTHING to do with it in this case.

In all seriousness here, I COMPLETELY agree the problem is with stupid breeders (note that I'm deliberately not using the word "parents" here) giving potentially dangerous stuff to their spawn. If the kid is old enough to hold onto the glow stick and carry it or rope it to their costume somehow, fine. If they're going to chew on it or try to stick it in their pie hole, you probably shouldn't give it to them.

Lighten up guys. While I certainly believe Chinese-made stuff is 99.9% junk, they're not the problem here. Our insatiable demand for the junk is, as is our lack of discretion in who we give it to.
