Ah yes, back in the day when it was Irish people who were stereotyped for blowing shit up. But then the troubles ended, 9/11 happened and the stereotype was passed onto the Arabs.

That’s got to be from an American version of the toy.

I don’t see how this is offensive as an Irish person. We joke about the IRA and sectarianism constantly. It’s part of the culture

It must have been around 2006/2007 when I was up in Armagh visiting a cousin of mine… went into Argos and got a tamagotchi each.
When they handed me mine it had a Union Jack on the front of it. I asked for a different one and they kindly obliged. I would have been about 10 or 11. I must have wanted an IRAgotchi.
