I am very unprudish, but the Bratz dolls are absolutely so far out of line, it's astonishing. My five year old is constantly asking for them, and I absolutely refuse to allow them in my house.

What kind of sick freak company puts out little sexualized 8 year old dolls? I can't believe any parent lets their daughters have these creepy things.

What kind of sick freak company puts out little sexualized 8 year old dolls?

My wife asked me essentially the same question, and my (essential) answer was: a company full of sick freaks. You have to wonder how toy designers and graphic artists come up with this crap. Is it intentional, cynical pandering to kids who ingest the Kool-Aid ladled out by a sick culture, or are they thoughtless products of the same bizarre environment that pervades the entertainment industry? Either way, I'm doing my best to steer clear of it all.
