I saw this interesting product in a sporting goods store the other day: 
It's a Parent/Child Boxing Glove Set, which consists of a pair of 14-oz boxing gloves for adults along with a pair of teeny tiny 6-oz boxing gloves for children.  I'm no marketing genius, but the following sales pitches immediately came to mind: 

1. "It's not child abuse if you give them gloves too."
2. "Now parents and children can fight nicely."
3. "Won't leave embarrassing bruises!"
4. "Time to fight back!"
5. "Teach a skill while teaching a lesson."

I understand the idea behind it:  Create a little quality time, albeit with a somewhat violent pastime.  And even though it's not explicitly stated, the punching isn't intended to be directed at one another, but instead at a punching bag.  Of course.  But the entire thing just shouts child abuse and dysfunction.  I love it.  Someday, I hope to punch my child with these gloves, all the while getting punched by his/her tiny hands in return. #products
