“Forbidden Toys”: 21 Disturbing And Bold Toy Designs Made By Rosemberg (New Pics)
In the weird and wonderful world of Rosemberg’s “Forbidden Toys,” it’s not just the absurdity that hooks you. It’s the way each piece feels like a hyper-saturated mirror of reality, as if someone rifled through the collective childhood memory bin and pulled out all the stuff adults never questioned but probably should have.
There’s something both hilarious and a little haunting about seeing a plush toy grappling with depression or a kitchen set themed around existential dread, not because they’re unrealistic but because they feel just a shade off from things that could have existed if the world had leaned a little further into chaos.

Having eyewitnessed demonstrations back in the 60s , I can tell you that cops did not shoot protesters. You tear gas and beat them with batons after declaring an illegal assembly. this happened at a peaceful protest led by teachers, when LBJ was visiting the Century Plaza Hotel in L.A.

I subbed at a school where the teachers were really upset that one of their colleagues had his students stage a medieval burial (they broke up in groups, and each group represented a different social class). They were MAD that this guy had done that, although it seemed like a good approach to the lesson to me.

This would be funny if ICE were not rounding people up, Gestapo style.

Ironically, Namibia has a very high death rate from car accidents. Aside from that, it is one of the safest countries in Africa.

To clarify, none of the above "toys" are real, they are only in the imagination of the artist, and the images were created through AI. I still find nothing funny about this at all. The full article about these toys can be found at Printmag.com www.printmag.com/ai/forbidden-toys-rosenberg/

Huh... the list came to an end before some Israeli game about the invasion of Gaza. Consider me surprised.

Rosemberg's comments seem to indicate that his pieces are a commentary on an inherent darkness in humanity. I think they can also be seen as a satire on the unspoken violence and racism that lies beneath the surface of popular culture. Often,we don't recognize these tropes until decades later, when viewing old ads or finding old toys and wondering at their macabre nature.

Imagine not understanding that this is satire by its very nature.
