Guess we won't be buying any more American Girl dolls if that is true.

Cafeteria boycotts won't work. Boycott all of Mattel's products.

This is one cafeteria boycott that actually could work. American Girls product line is aimed at parents looking for age appropriate toys, game, and books for their preteen daughters. Generally speaking, that means NO BOYS. Their magazine does not focus on boys.

Parents know they're paying way too much for the stuff, but pay it, knowing the premium is going toward keeping their daughters Brittany Spears and Bratz free. Most, but certainly not all, of the parents buying this junk would be horrified to know their 10 year old was exposed to this lesbian babykilling crap. If American Girl sales plummet, the boycott would have its desired effect.
