You ever use a Ouija Board? You notice how the Hasbro marketing states the board is for "entertainment" purposes only? Did you feel particularly entertained or simply weirded out when that thing was going all over the board? So, what's the secret of Ouija. Yes, there's that person at every party who swears they know how it works, but the history of the board suggests that it does allow for the communication of spiritual beings.

Is it a bunch of hogwash, or is it legit. If nothing else, perhaps it is a wonderful form of entertainment, but does it carry some strange curse? Is Hasbro simply offering a clever manner of covering their ASSets by stating it is merely for entertainment? We're gonna demand to know the secre

Dear Hasbro,

What in the heck is up with the Ouija Board? You state that it's for entertainment purposes only, but while playing it at a party last weekend, it only served to freak us all out. We want to know if that's the type of entertainment intended, or if we actually had contact with those who had gone on before us.

How does it work? We want to know. Is it merely mind over matter, and a combination of the energy of the person who has their hands on the little heart-shaped thingy, or is there something more that relies on things that are present, but not necessarily in this realm.

Perhaps if you're not willing to divulge the secret, you could explain why exactly you have decided to make and market such a "toy" for "entertainment purposes." Because what I know is that while some people were highly entertained, I was freaked the freak out! And I still kind of am. I know others feel the same way, and we want answers.

How does the Ouija Board work, and why would a company who manufacturers "Mouse Trap" and My Little Pony offer a little something to contact the nether world? And what's up with the age recommendation? 8 to Adult? 8!? Really? Yes, let's scar children for life. Geez.

Well. If you could offer the information, we folks who have signed this petition would greatly appreciate the insight into the "mystery" of how it works. Just a little hint would be fine.

Sincerely,

Freaked Out Ouija Users
