Why Buy A Pussycat Doll?
Hasbro is transforming the popular girl-group The Pussycat Dolls into actual dolls. So why would you buy a Pussycat Doll? Well
Each doll sells for $15, which is roughly half as much as the actual Pussycat Dolls sell themselves for.- The 12-inch figures will be decked in the Pussycat Dolls' signature short skirts and lace tops-- Not replicas, the ACTUAL short skirts and lace tops.
- Hasbro's director of marketing says that the new dolls will "reflect the styles and fashions that are popular in the world today..." She then added, "with whores."
- Hasbro also encourages family members to be "involved in not only the doll-purchasing decision, but also in playing with the dolls." Except for that one creepy uncle. He should stay away.
- They're marketing the doll to 6 to 9 year olds. I have a feeling the usage of those two numbers is not a coincidence.
- The PCD's biggest song "Don't Cha" contains the lyrics "I know you want it/ it's easy to see/ And in the back of your mind/ I know you should be f**king me." Awesome! Now replace "f**king" with "buying" and you have yourself one catchy little jingle.
I'm going out and buying myself a Pusscat Doll doll the day they come out. It's all the fun of an actual Pussycat Doll, with half the disease! Order now!

Are you sure about that lyric? Maybe I've just never heard the "unrated" version.

Pussycat Dolls vs. Bratz dolls. They're both whores. Now I see why Hasbro would be selling the dolls.

6 to 9 year olds?? Oh great. Well, we'll know who to blame when "teen pregnancy" becomes "playground pregnancy"

I like the Pussycat Dolls - what's not to like about semi-hot girls telling the world that they're REALLY hot? Besides, the dontcha song is really fun to dance to. But I'm 25. The fact that they're turning this into dolls for grade-school girls horrifies me.
I'm preparing myself for the new women's lib movement - "Why Work When You Can Whore?"

I find it laughable that the article says that parents should supervise the purchase of these dolls. So far, I don't really see that many little girls going into the toy store buying the Bratz whore dolls by themselves, it's the parents who aren't really paying attention to what they buy (I've seen it in action).
Let's extend eating disorders all the way down to the swing set. There aren't enough girls with problems out there.

I'm just waiting until they sell actual clothingline for girls of all ages! I bet they'd call it "Pussy Wear". Boy howdy I'd buy that.
