January 29, 2003 -- IN a world full of Eminems, miniskirts for less-than-minors, and racy reality shows real kids watch, your local toy department has to be the one place devoid of adult cynicism, right? The last bastion of innocence, where characters like Winnie, Barney and Harry.

Barbie's preggers friend Midge.
Her stomach is a flip-top: you open it up, out comes baby.

Ok I love the way the fact that Midge is married, wears a wedding ring and has a three year old son gets left out here. (Hubby and son sold separately.)

Apparently single swinging Barbie is ok and family values Midge is bad

I would like to hear the logic behind that one.

TOY STORY HORRORS

All toys are made in Communist China!

All Christmas ornaments are made in Communist China!

All shoes, except for SAS and most Dexters are made in Communist China!

.....and the list goes on and on and on.

i know, i don't get that either. my teenager had heard all about the flap with Walmart pulling it from its shelves. she was shopping with her little sister, my 8 year old, and she bought the pregnant Midge for her. She figured that if the PC crowd was all up in arms about this, it had to be a good thing and her little sister should have it!

That all depends.

Do you work for ADM Copola or ADM Zumwalt Streetgang?

Target recently pulled a clothing line manufactured with the logo "88" - because it's apparently an undercover Nazi reference.

How does anybody say this stuff with a straight face?
