Is there missing punctuation in that headline or am I an idiot?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

No, there is no punctuation missing, the headline writing style is just hurting comprehensibility. I'll expand it a bit.

Cheers, I can read and comprehend the original headline now. I'm Australian so English isn't my first language, at least that's my excuse.

Yes, it should at least be kids'. Kids robot doesn't make sense.

I clicked on this thread only to figure out what that title is supposed to mean.

$800... for an emotional support toy?

Is this why there's so much poverty in the world? Because once people have enough excess wealth, this is what they choose to spend it on instead of helping those who need it more?
