Stupid is as stupid does

Some ideas are just plain stupid.

Bebe Gluton, the breastfeeding doll, is just a stupid idea for a toy. Any time the words "strategically placed faux nipples" are part of the instruction for playing with a doll, WINNING. Imagine the look of joy on your face when you watch your adorable son when he straps on the faux flower nipple apron and plays away for hours on end.


In the spirit of inappropriate instructional toys, here are a few more:


Yes, it's an actual creepy shaving doll. Eeeeeewww.


In the spirit of Miley Cyrus, it's the Pole Dancer, not at all related to my beloved Dancerina Ballerina.

Just because it can be made doesn't mean it should be made. Is this really a part of motherhood that we need to have little girls emulating at such an early age? I certainly am not knocking breastfeeding. I breastfed both of my sons and strongly encourage any expectant mom to give it a try. But little girls? It's a very slippery slope and a very mixed message. Don't get pregnant, kids, but here's a breastfeeding doll to enjoy many happy hours of play time.

We as parents work very hard to try and keep our children, children. It is our job to protect our children. As with Abercrombie and their padded swimsuit top for little girls, if you don't buy it, they can't sell it.
