The whole idea of piñatas is so weird. You usually take an animal, make it cute and colorful, stuff it with tasty candy, and then you smash it to bits and eat the inside. It is so close to burning something in effergy.
Sometimes they break away from animals. I've seen tons of beloved cartoon characters. I will admit that the idea of beating SpongeBob to death is appealing, but I'm not the market for these things.
But who is the market for the Army Humvee piñata? Really?
Update: They have removed the product. The page is still there, but they are no longer selling it. So either someone came to their senses... or they sold out.
