Whoever should came up with this should be laughed at and fired.

Also, I'd fall over and die too if I had to be in a Kevin James movie (http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2009/09/tweet_the_giraf.html):

Tweet, the beloved giraffe who rose to fame as a star in the classic “Toys R Us” commercials and who provided laughs alongside Jim Carrey in the movie, “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,” died on Friday after filming his latest movie at the Franklin Park Zoo.

The 18-year-old giraffe apparently collapsed while feeding and in the care of his trainer, and had completed shooting his part in the movie, Kevin James' “The Zookeeper.”

I have a feeling the baby side is not making enough money right now.

My assumption was that the baby side was the side making money but I'm only going by the market in SA.  A lot of toy stores closed and the baby ones now outnumber the toy ones.  The damn card would've been better off listing what you COULD buy with it.  God forbid I go to the toy store for toys.  Do they want to lure in customers or not?

Hmmm .... that may make more sense, actually.

That would be pretty crazy to see a giraffe drop dead. Watching that long neck crash like a spotted yellow tree in slow motion. The zookeeper yelling out "TIMBER!" I assume.

I imagine if the giraffe is sick enough to die, it would not be so sudden, and is probably already laying his head down.

However, that is a hilarious image.

I'm even picturing it creaking like a falling tree.

THat coupon is that way because some Toys r us has like the babies r us inside of them.... like two stores into one so that coupon is only for the baby stuff.

Also the first thing that came to my mind when I read the title was that creppy as shit pic of that ghost @ the toys r us in cali.

It still fails as it clearly excludes baby toys.
