| Description: | Same as catalog #311488 Sports: Australia, Bull-whip Thrills. Cowboy experts shows small fry helpers some pulse-tingling tricks with the Australian bull-whip. Like William Tell of old, cowboy whips apple off boy's head, and even snaps a penny off his tongue. Man wearing cowboy hat demonstrates and coaches school-age children to use a whip. Then he performs various stunts -- some of these shots could be used to represent torture or a sadistic, the children/young teens are required to stand there and let him whip right next to their faces. He even whips the top of one boy's head and takes a penny off another's tongue (the boy looks pretty nervous, anxious). Scary! Dangerous. Obviously meant to be lighthearted in that day, but could represent child abuse or child endangerment, perhaps. | |
