At some point in the journey of this Spider-Man balloon, from concept to the production floor to stores, someone probably should've pointed out that it looks like the wall-crawler is exposing his amazing friend to the world. But here it -- and it -- is.

I don't know anything about balloon design, but I'm guessing that appendage is where you insert the nozzle for inflation, an act that likely triggers endless jokes (and questions) at parties. And, if you're wondering, yes, you can order the balloon in large quantities -- a 1,000-piece minimum. If you should require more, this company can provide up to 1 million per week.

This of course evokes memories of the NSFW Spider-Man sculpture that was removed last year from a South Korean shopping center after folks realized he was showing off his web-shooter. (Don't worry, it found a new home ... at a hospital.)
