From the AP:

A pink plastic backpack emblazoned with the words “What a Girl Wants” was filled with brightly colored fireworks with names like Lipstick Fountain and Magic Whip. It was one of thousands of illegal pyrotechnics uncovered by police this week in the basement of a Brooklyn home.

The “What a Girl Wants” backpacks _ named after Christina Aguilera’s hit song _ was “marketed specifically to young girls” with names like Golden Flowers and Magic Whip and packaging featuring Britney Spears’ image, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Tuesday.

As if young girls nowadays want anything to do with Britney. If you really want to exploit the youth market, we recommend the new Fergie M-60, which makes a horrific noise and clears the room in just seconds.ZING!
