Egyptian authorities clamp down on 'Sisi's balls'
Egyptian toy stores were delighted when a cheap toy came back into fashion — until they discovered that selling it could land you in jail.
A great controversy and a wave of arrests took place in Egypt earlier this month because of a children’s toy called Clackers, which consists of two plastic spheres suspended on a string that bang against each other when swung.
When children dubbed this retro toy “Sisi’s balls” — a reference to President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s testicles — the Egyptian government launched an inspection campaign Nov. 8, followed by arrests of toy store owners throughout Egypt to stop them from selling the "offending" toy.
