KB TOYS must be boycotted
If this product is true, the would b the ultimate example of sickening when our brothers and sisters are dying in Iraq.

<http://www.kbtoys.com/genProduct.html/PID/2431939/ctid/17?_ts=n&ls=toys&_e=3f33f&_v=3F33F166EWIdaC4F193C4288&_ts=y>

There is a part that asks your opinion of the product. Maybe if we flood them with comments they will not sell this item.

1. They're over-priced. I wouldn't shop there anyway.
I think the average American (who doesn't care about social issues) would boycott it if we talk more about their overpricing of regular toys.

4. Done.
I made sure to include the fact that I'd never be making a purchase in KB again.

3. Not really LBN - but I do agree.
Actually, I think they should call this the George W. Bush INaction figure since he really doesn't do anything.

5. those should collect some serious dust
Already the carrier landing, often cited here as *'s jumping of the shark with even the most faithful, is a decidedly poor tool to market the boy/puppet king.

Get yer BW* dolls in a year or two at yer favorite dollar store, these are gonna be turkeys.

Rove will recall them anyway once the word hits the street that the plastic headed doll is actually more intelligent than the soul-less bone-headed puppet.

8. After their courageous gesture of outreach to the Voudoun community?

It would be better to lobby them to donate large supplies of these toys to all Haitian children, as a culture preservation program.

14. Ahh, from the new "Butchers of Baghad" series no doubt.
Does it also mumble "bring it on"?

Where's that barf icon?

15. I reviewed their product via e-mail
I told them that as soon as I got it home he went AWOL. Disappeared for the entire month of August. I finally found him in the Barbi Dollhouse kitchen drunk and snorting lines of cocain laid out on the table.

Do you think they'll publish it?
