This is turning into a series, Buddy laughs at the dumbing of America (he can afford too) it drives me crazy.
Remember Geoffery Giraffe? The family image of Toys-R-Us?
Yeah, thats gone.
I was Christmas shopping in Toys-R-Us the other day with my wife, the experience was lousy to begin with, then while searching for Barbies for our daughters we ran accross this Gem:
The Brats Party Bus! Complete with Hooker looking dolls, a margarita maker, margarita glasses and what appear to be unemployed, 400 credit score having male side kicks! WOW, THATS THE LIFE I WANT MY DAUGHTER TO ASPIRE TOO!
It is a damn shame and sign that these perverse toys now out sell Barbie, but where does social responsibility come in? How can the home of Geoffrey Giraffe deal in teen delinquency? The answer is obviously in sales (see earlier blog "What Ever Happened to Integrity"), I am sure there are tons of Moms buying this crap (see openning sequence of Idiocracy). Why wouldn't Toys-R-Us want the sleeze market? It is more likely that the stupid people that buy this crap will out reproduce us that don't. Maybe they are smarter than me.
Click on the above Bratz link to see this wonderful childs toy! Also read the comments, notice who wrote them and where they are from...to me histerical.
Target.com does not carry the Bratz Party Bus, they do sell the Classy looking dolls, LOL. (Just looking at the dolls gave me a Speakeasy Tiki Bar Flashback.
I left my full cart in Toys-R-Us after the manager defended the right to sell smut, and went home bought all the toys online at target, some of which were $25 cheaper online than at Geoffrey's.
So at the end of the day I will never go back to Toys-R-Us, I saved a ton of money, got U-Promise points, free shipping and learned Mothers in Virgina and Texas think Brats dolls are cool. I am sure their daughters love playing with them while wearing their "Save Britney" T-Shirts.
I am off to have a Brawndo and do a little this and that.
