Harry Potter Nimbus 2000 "Vibrator" broomstick

In yet another sign of what is the United States of the Morally Repressed, toy maker giant Mattel pulled what was sure to be the hottest Christmas item this century (or at least the wettest). The Harry Potter Nimbus 2000 Broom [LINKS: 1 | 2 | 3], a replica of the famous flying stick used by boy wizard Harry Potter has girls and their moms flying with glee. [click to read more +/-]

The reason..it’s vibrating sensations prove to be too much for the ladies. Indeed, the vibrating broomstick is sweeping teenagers off their feet since the first day it hit the stores, putting smiles on the faces of grandmothers and leaving young girls completely legless, or in some cases, flat on their backs with their shaking thighs wrapped around a length of vibrating wood. The reason for this throbbing tsunami of joy? The Rimbutt 2000 Harry Potter Broom—a four-foot long vibrating stick hand-crafted from solid beechwood—which promises to give Harry Potter fans ‘the ride of your life.’

Here are few reviews from the Amazon listing before it was also pulled (absolutely worth it!)..

• This toy was #1 on my daughter's Christmas list. So what the heck, although it has no educational value I figured it would be good for imaginative play. It wasn't until after she opened her gift and started playing with it that I realized that the toy may offer a more than sensational experience. The broomstick has cute sound effects and ***VIBRATES*** when they put it between their legs to fly. Come on---what were the creators of this toy thinking? She'll keep playing with the Nimbus 2000, but with the batteries removed.
  

• I recently bought this for my son, Vantro. He's a HUGE Harry Potter fan. Seen the movie 32 times (in the theaters) and made the paper. This toy gives him the ability to fly around the house zapping things. My only problem I see with the toy is the batteries drain too fast and his sister fights him over it, so now I need to buy her one.
  

• When my 12 year old daughter asked for this for her birthday, I kind of wondered if she was too old for it, but she seems to LOVE it. Her friends love it too! They play for hours in her bedroom with this great toy. They really seem to like the special effects it offers (the sound effects and vibrating). My oldest daughter (17) really likes it too! I reccomend this for all children.

• My 12 year old daughter is a big Harry Potter fan, and loved the part with the Nimbus 2000, so I decided to buy her this toy. I was afraid she would think it was too babyish, but she LOVES this toy. Even my daughter's friends enjoy playing with this fun toy. I was surprised at how long they can just sit in her room and play with this magic broomstick! A great buy for any Harry Potter fan! :)
