Just when you think it’s

Just when you think it’s the corporations’ fault that americans are so woefully devoid of perspective and depth, you learn that Mattel tried to do the right thing and WalMart even tried to carry it - and who can blame them for responding to a public outcry?  Better to turn our attention to those who are crying out that a doll that’s full of life poses a threat to our childrens’ moral health.  Maybe the part they found distasteful was the way it activates its special preggo powers and splits in two to emit the happy fetus.  Or maybe everything else in the world was going so great that they didn’t have anything else to complain about.
