Real talk is that I was sick to my stomach when I saw this toy that is being marketed to little girls. Now I know why this character is called ‘Dora The Explorer’.
Now don’t try and tell me that I am reading too much into this thing because I’m not the guy who developed this piece of crap. How else do children become hyper-sexualized in our society? It’s not like children’s programming was ever benign from sexual references, but when was it ever this overt? What really blew my mind (no Pokemon) was when I saw that they were made for boys as well. And Rome wept…
Now that’s some funny shit

::Blouses::
i have one of those but i don’t call it dora…
Where can I get one? Uh….for the kids…… 🙂
scratch that order…2 AAA batteries? LOL
I have to admit it’s harder to laugh ’cause I have a two-year-old niece who is all about Dora, Bootz, Map, etc. But I can see the humor in comments above…
I submit that it’s not the shape of these products or even the images in the ad, no matter what the creators’ intent. It’s the fact that the “real” stuff is ever easier for kids to see, so they start making these associations, oh, about 15 years earlier than I ever could have.
The “Milkshake” video, for example, is cute but shouldn’t be kids fare. And back in my younger days it wouldn’t have been. Holy crap… “Milkshake” is from 2003 and I’m talking about it like it was yesterday. I’m old.
Get your damn mind out the gutter.
Sit and spin action….
I mean, I’d sit down on the floor and spin it around with my hand and what not to see what it does………
Somebody in the room had to blurt out “It looks like a fucking dildo”…..they can’t be that naive.
