"You really don't get it, do you? Little girls go on the American Girl website to look at dolls and their accessories, to find fun games to play with their friends, to email online penpals"
Y'all seem to be having fun with this so have at it. I don't think you are going to do enough harm to the conservative cause for me to be worried about it.
I do understand why Christian bookstores would stop selling AG if they are going give money that goes the Boys and Girls clubs but I find the attacks short sighted, not unlike the people who are trying to put the Boy Scouts of business -because you are overlooking the vast good that Boys and Girls clubs do in this country. I know that first hand.
I don't know anything about a Boy Scout boycott or Christian bookstores. I don't believe I've ever even been in a Christian bookstore unless you count a St. Jude's shop, which probably has 10 books on its shelves.
But I will take great pleasure in pinging you to an article that will be posted at some point in the Spring (if not sooner), when Mattel restructures its American Girl unit because of the huge slump in AG's 4th quarter 2005 sales.
I'm pretty sure Girls Inc. is different then Boys & Girls Clubs. You might want to check out Hoovers.com. Different addresses (Girls Inc. is NY, B&G Clubs GA), different executives. . . . . so your opposition to the boycott on the good that B&G Clubs do is kind of like a "HUH???"
