Babies Wigging Out

Wasn't this a skit on Saturday Night Live? (Actually, yes - video here.)

It's never too long before the latest craze to sweep America makes its way to the UK but most would wish this one really hadn't.
Celebrity wigs designed for babies up to nine months old and are set to hit the market, to the outrage of children's charities.
There's a Bob Marley style dreadlock wig, a Samuel L Jackson afro as seen in movie Pulp Fiction and a Donald Trump comb-over - perhaps for that mature look.

For the girls there's flowing pink locks based on singer Lil' Kim.

I hope this "US baby wig craze" is just a hoax that a British paper took a little too seriously. Has anyone seen a baby with a wig anywhere in the US? Seems like a choking/strangling hazard to me.
