This Is Your Head

This is your head on potatoes

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) -- Customs officers discovered nearly 10.5 ounces of ecstasy tablets hidden inside a Mr. Potato Head toy sent to Australia from Ireland, the agency said Thursday.

Upon opening the parcel, the officers were greeted with the smiling face of the popular children's toy, which features a potato-like head and removable facial features. But when they removed a panel from the back of the toy, the officers found 10.34 ounces of ecstasy in a plastic bag.

This is so ripe for snarky comments, but none come to mind.

Thanks a lot, druggies, for perpetuating the Irish-potato stereotype.

We need to end this insane war on drugs for the sake of the potato heads who must endure such treatment.
