Aww, cute! It’s a little charm in the shape of a pink baby seal! Unbeknownst to strangers, however, a secret lies inside of this seal’s plastic butt: it’s a tazer. Flip open the tail and press the button, and your little friend will unleash the wrath of Zeus.

It only seems to be $14, but good luck ordering one off of the webpage, which includes [Google translated] phrases like “this product is something which was made in one for self defense.
