Slide of Doom

A slide we've been avoiding at our neighborhood playground:

Go ahead, LG.  Give it a whirl!

Try to have fun gliding down this slide while large, sharp, molds of plastic jam into your tender little hip bones in order to violently force you in a severe squiggle motion.  It's deceiving.  It looks super-fun, but in reality kids are walking away with whiplash or dragging themselves away because of their hip fractures.  

Okay...I might be exaggerating slightly, but this slide does not look fun.  And we never see any other kids on it.  Probably because they are completely confused...

I mean, do you slide down it?

Do you climb up it?

No one knows!

Who were the ad wizards who came up with this one?
(That was a Saturday Night Live reference from the 90's in case you were wondering)

Happy Friday.
Try to avoid any death-slides this weekend!
