Do me a fave tho, just because I don't post it doesn't mean you have to preface the article with what I usually "do" or "don't do".
I'm not in charge of the N&P board so have at it !! It's a free board.
Now...looking at the link itself, it reads more like someone's blog post than an actual news story, so looking at it from that POV, it's not newsworthy.
To the question itself: Let the dollars do the talking, if any parent with a little sense decides not to buy the doll now, guess what? You won't see it come Christmas. This is not a big deal.
You want to talk controversial dolls, you may want to read this from last year: |
Don't be mean. You ARE the unofficial news person.
I agree about letting the money do the talking. There are a lot of inappropriate kids toys, including some video games, and parents need to decide what to purchase.
However, the toys are also a reflection of shifts in societal norms and values, and how perceptions of children change. Kids' toys are all about gender (with a hint of sexuality and sexual orientation).
