Wigs for the kids!

[img][650:322]http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2006/09/babyBM290906_700x347.jpg[/img]

From the Daily Mail (UK)

It's never too long before the latest craze to sweep America makes its way to the UK but most would wish this one really hadn't.

Celebrity wigs designed for babies up to nine months old and are set to hit the market, to the outrage of children's charities.

There's a Bob Marley style dreadlock wig, a Samuel L Jackson afro as seen in movie Pulp Fiction and a Donald Trump comb-over - perhaps for that mature look.

For the girls there's flowing pink locks based on singer Lil' Kim.

But Michelle Elliott of Kidscape said as well as unnecessary the wigs could be dangerous.

"This is ridiculous. Any parent who buys one of these wigs for their child needs their head examining."

Wigs are incredibly uncomfortable for a start. Babies are wonderful but dirty little things and the last thing they need is a wig."

The wigs are manufactured by California-based firm BabyToupee and cost £14.

The firm's website says its aim to "show that while parenting can be a great responsibility, it can also be a source of endless amusement."

Founder Graham Farrar said: "Having a baby doesn't mean you have to stop having fun or do everything by the book. We don' take ourselves or our products too seriously."

Yeah, is this just someone taking that skit an unnecessary step further? This isn't for real?

I've never put a wig on a kid (except for halloween), but I still need my head examining.

I used to know this chick that shaved her head and just constantly wore different wigs. She had like a dozen or so of 'em lined up on those fake heads in her bedroom.

Persoanlly, I always thought it was an excellent idea.

Just relegating it to babies is sad.

It was pretty funny too, which can't be said for most of that show anymore.

Haven't had hair myself for close to 20 years.

No wigs though...not fashion concious enough to bother, especially these days.
