I would totally buy those for my kid.

Guess it worked?

No Bratz knock - offs yet?

They look the same to me.

In before "That's Racist" kid.

Given that one of the dolls is called "Sweet Sasha," I'm surprised this wasn't greened with a 'To Catch a Predator' headline.

/What was wrong with just using the girls' names only?

I'm expecting this will incite a LOT of butthurt as little girls who live in Republican households will be asking their parents to buy them the dolls.

At least they don't look like Bratz. Or whatever they're called.

I want a Rick Warren doll for my Inauguration Day play set^TM.

What does Subby have against making money? Should they have released them the day after Katrina II and aired the first commercial during the broadcast of Obama giving Pelosi birthday cake while a city drowns?

In other news, they have "real doll hair". Ooookay . . .

That's either dumb (because any hair on a doll is "real doll hair" or sick (when did they start using Real Doll hair on Beanie Babies??).

/poor turns of phrase FTL

DarnoKonrad: I want a Rick Warren doll for my Inauguration Day play setTM.
==================================

I want an Aretha doll with bow hat and lifelike triple F breast.

I thought beanie babies were outlawed 10 years ago to quell the great soccer mom riots of the late 90s...

tortilla burger: At least they don't look like Bratz. Or whatever they're called.

Jenna and Barbara?

CTaylor80: In other news, they have "real doll hair". Ooookay . . .

Hair from a Real Doll? Ay Carumba!

People still buy those things? I guess tomagotchis are coming back in too?

Good thing. My Bush twin Beanie Babies went out drinking a few years ago and never came back. All those little stewed beanies.

Let these kids be. Leave the man's family out of it.

tortilla burger: At least they don't look like Bratz. Or whatever they're called.

Everyone! Look as tortilla burger is trying to act cool and pretend he doesn't know what a Bratz doll is!

/Hate those farking dolls, only since my niece was old enough to start wanting them for presents.
//Let's pay $25 a doll to teach our daughter how to dress like a slut!

NSFW realdoll (new window)

man, all these Obama related products, but I still can't find the Obama commemorative silk-screened denim jacket I've been waiting for. I'll be so bad-ass when I get me one of those.

None of this is coincidence

LOL. He even spelled it with a "z".

/step-daughter was a Bratz head.
//spent hundreds on cars, accessories, etc.
//all of that shiat is sitting in a box in the storage shed, now.

Where is the Trigg and Tripp dolls?

/we know some folks that would be "down" with that

As the old adage goes, "Strike while the iron is hot"...

didn't one of the other presidents have young kids when he took office?

If so, how'd the kids wind up?

We can then track how the daughters Obama compare.

Edsel: I'm expecting this will incite a LOT of butthurt as little girls who live in Republican households will be asking their parents to buy them the dolls.

They'll get the Barbara and Jenna dolls, which have additional features.

The beanie babies are much to cute to be based on the Obama children.

Mmmmm, brats!

/From Wisconsin

I read 'Beany Babies' and thought 'Cabbage Padge Kids'

/Now those were creepy

Four Horsemen of the Domestic Dispute

Where is the Trigg and Tripp dolls?

/we know some folks that would be "down" with that

Those are the one's that will be in the Bratz style.

/yea, I went there

These dolls look way too 'busty' for little girls.

"I love Sascha!"

Or, we can leave the man's children out of it, as people did in the past.

Darconix: Shakespeare's Monkey: /now please forget Aretha Franklin's hat; my officemates are still talking about it.

My officemates are still talking about that dreadful poem that Yale idiot gave after Obama's speech.

Apparently we were all laughing at her, even the libs. To be honest, I felt a little embarassed for the Obamanation.

Outside of your usual trolling, I sadly have to agree that the poem was horrible. Little to no rhythm and completely random silly imagery.

It was terrible.

Shadowknight: Outside of your usual trolling, I sadly have to agree that the poem was horrible. Little to no rhythm and completely random silly imagery.

See, I think the poem might have been alright, not much better than a freshman poetry class, but not HORRIBLE, if it wasn't read by William Shatner.

wouldn't that be a change of pace for the modern media, giving a public figure privacy.

I'd like to see that happen, the kids really don't need to be warped because of what their dad does.

There, now I can read at the 2012 inauguration!

I listened to her singing and didn't actually notice the hat. Apparently I dodged a bullet, as it sounds like the hat had basilisk properties.

I thought those had already gone the way of the Cabbage Patch Kids.

I work with several performance poetry organizations in Chicago, and we have an uphill battle to fight to convince people that poetry can be engaging and relevant. And then Elizabeth Alexander shows up and sets us back 20 years.

Shadowknight: bad linky screwed uppy

And to add to it, I suck at HTML too.

Edsel: I'm expecting this will incite a LOT of butthurt as little girls who live in Republican households will be asking their parents to buy them the dolls.

Nah.. they will just attribute that to more genetic baggage passed on by the wifes side of the family.

Why does subby hate capitalism?

No, that's Giada De Laurentiis.

I loved the bit The Daily Show did about it. Showed everyone freaking out and loving Obama's speech, and then immediately clearing out as the poem was being read. Joked about how it was the government's way of dispersing the crowd in a timely manner.

All joking aside, though, it worked.

It's just a missed opportunity, though, for the arts in general.
