And it is not an ONION article, but the real deal: This is true, unadulterated, and strange. The UK TELEGRAPH reports:
The EU toy safety directive, agreed and implemented by Government, states that balloons must not be blown up by unsupervised children under the age of eight, in case they accidentally swallow them and choke.
Safety first. Fun last. And freedom? …no consideration for that old thing.
Where is Pink Floyd when you need them.. Kids are going to be banned from blowing up balloons and blowing party whistles
