Here is my twisted fictional analogy:
Sprigfield homeowners association bans the Slinky
-Associated Press
Remember growing up in the 80s and playing with the Slinky? I can remember the fun I had sending it down the stairs and doing all the other things shown in the commercial. Well it's a good thing that children these days have the internet and X-box to keep them busy because a homeowners association in Springfield has decided to ban the Slinky from the neighborhood.
Terry Wrist, head of the neighborhood HOA, says that the Slinky represents a new and emerging risk to the safety of all residents in the neighborhood. "Independent security consultants have determined that a Slinky, if brought into the neighborhood, could be equipped with a steel tensioner that can increase the effect of it's spring. This spring could then be hooked up to any catapult system, dragged into somebody's back yard, and be fitted with a sharp boulder. If a nefarious intruder with an ulterior motive were able to get a hold of a Slinky and enable said catapult, he would then be able to launch the boulder across the yard, through a back window, and into the face of a resident of the home if they happened to be walking by the window at that moment". When asked why a nefarious intruder would not just use a gun, Wrist had no comment and excused himself from the interview.
