Wow, who would have thought this would draw complaints?


NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Black rag dolls that came with instructions to “find a wall” and slam the toy against it have been pulled from three stores after customers and a lawmaker said they were offensive.
The “Feel Better Doll” featured instructions to “whack” the doll “whenever things donâ€t go well and you want to hit the wall and yell.”
The president of One Dollar Zone said roughly 1,000 dolls were pulled this week from its store in Bayonne and two others also in New Jersey.

Didn't they use to grip because there weren't black Barbies and the like?

They still complain about Barbies, even though they come in all shades of the racial rainbow these day.

Yup. Some dude came out with a Raiesha Doll. It popped out babies from all different Ken dolls. Lived in a section 8 housing unit and when the string was pulled it said: "I got mines".

The person never got to make the Tyrone doll. That would have been cool. Lay it on the couch all day in front of a mini tv, smell like smoke and when his string is pulled he said: "Yo 'B' get me another beer".

I think the same company made the divorce barbie. She takes all Ken's stuff.
