Bratz Dolls: Sending the Wrong Message About Head Size?

GiggleSugar — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:15:00 -0800

Forget the sexual messages Bratz dolls send to little girls who buy them (nice blowup doll lips, Miss Bratz!). The Onion is worried that the takeaway message for girls is that "in order to be beautiful you have to have a head that's twice the size of your torso." Says one concerned mother, "I want her to feel good about her head. You have to say you're OK with having a little head, and with having a nose."

Baby freaks-me-the-eff-out-a-lot is more like it. I guess girls in the '60s were into evil and devil worshipping. That's the only explanation I can find for this doll's appeal. I bet this little girl would love Baby Laugh-a-Lot . . .

The Sports Report Done With Dolls

I'm not much into athletics, but if all sports highlights involved dolls and stuffed animals, then maybe I'd have a change of heart. The following sportscaster wanted to give his viewers a lively recap, but NCAA regulations prohibited the use of game time footage. So our dude did what any self-respecting sports buff would do - he raided his daughter's toy chest for the win. Score!

Flashback: My Buddy

GiggleSugar — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:00:00 -0700

Most boys nowadays play with mutant Transformers, hypermasculine G.I. Joe action figures, or plain ol' Legos, but back in the '80s, there was another boy toy on the market. The doll they called "My Buddy" defied all gender norms because it was designed to go where no doll had gone before - straight into the arms of a loving little dude. The doll had big, blue eyes, a button nose, a mane to brush, and a rainbow-colored shirt on his back. In other words, he was freaking awesome. But sadly, "My Buddy" lost momentum in the '90s and we haven't seen anything like him since. (That little freak Chucky doesn't count.)

Dude Really Digs His Doll

Dudes and dolls! It's become perfectly acceptable for a dateless dude to court a doll instead of a real girl. Tim and Eric, who are nothing but awesome, picked up on the growing trend and got this sucker to sit down and sing to a doll. The scene is so sexy, it makes the puppet's head spin - cuz she has a few screws loose. But so does he! That's why they're the perfect pair.

Ack! Another Pee-Pee Baby

We asked you a while back to weigh in on Baby Wee-Wee, a once popular doll in the UK, and his anatomically correct "private" region. The majority of you thought his wee-wee should go bye-bye, but the good people at Famosa, a Spanish toy company, thought otherwise. I give you the new and "improved" 2007 Baby Pirulin Pipi:

Baby Wee-Wee: Child's Play?

GiggleSugar — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 03:00:00 -0700

You've all heard of the doll that drinks water from a bottle and then excretes it through a hole in her body, but Baby Wee-Wee is something else. He's got an all-too-visible penis. Some might consider these dolls as modern, hip and tackling taboos. Others might deem them downright inappropriate. What's your take: Should baby dolls have sexual organs?
