       Heck, just put them in a big foam hamster-ball and let 'em roll.

       why not just a helmet? I still wear one.

       Croissant, for obvious reasons.

       The perfect portable device for venturing out of the NerfHome...

       I am so disappointed I thought this was an AffroAssault Action Figure - the world has waited too long.

       Cool idea, solo.

       I cracked up when I read just the title. It's perfect. I was hoping for an AfroAssault tie-in, though. Baked item pour vous.

       + wow, look at this oldie but goodie!!

       This is a great idea but it would not go over well here in the states, this could very well refuse the racial tensions that Barak just defused.   

       Even if Barak endorsed Foam Afros for toddlers in the public forum there would still be trouble.

       As a white guy in a small town that is equally black and white with a few Asians and Latinos, I can see how this would be a problem with the wrong kind of people.   

       Maybe it could be a Blagojevich helmet, or a Donald Trump helmet or Big Hair Secretary helmet.   

       This may encourage people to wear helmets in cars, which I personally believe would lessen the number of traumatic head injuries suffered every year by a significant amount.

       White afros for white kids; dark afros for black kids; what's the problem?

       As long as the foam breathes. You wouldn't want their hair to get.. spongy.

       White guys just can't pull off the afro look. It's the dumbest looking hairdo on a white guy I've ever seen. Every white guy I've seen trying to rock the 'Fro looks like a hippie and/or a moron. I can't help visualizing Seth Rogen every time I see one. My friend Manny, however, is a tall, very athletic (not extremely dark) black guy with a short moustache/goatee combo and a medium-sized afro. The way he dresses, it actually compliments his attire and looks very good. On the other hand, whites in my town who try to emulate traditioanlly black fashion statements are not looked upon kindly. This would not go over well. [-]

       I would think everyone can get behind hilarity + child safety. DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN!

       Here's one white guy who never hurt his head (see link)
phundug, Apr 11 2009
  

       That's more of a happy accident than a fro.
nomocrow, Apr 13 2009
  

       [21] this is for children! doesn't matter if they are white or not, their little heads need protection. Anyway, I found a great link as it is now baked for adults!! [see link]
