Toy from Hell
Has anybody at Disney actually watched this movie?!? Lots-o-Huggin Bear is the evillest, vilest villain of all times! Offering him as a toy for kids would be like offering an action-figure of the hunter who killed Bambi's mother! What parent will purchase this nightmare-inducing object for Christmas?

Toys with Emotional Problems
You think you have problems? At least you weren't created with a specific mental illness in mind, as in being a depressed turtle or a obsessive compulsive Hippo.
My only complaint is that only 5 mental illnesses are represented. Surely we can do better than that, people.
Here's the link if you don't believe it.

Is it smart to emphasize to parents, the toy-buyers, how goddamn noisy your products are?

Follies of the Mad Men #85
The advertisers have a winning product and presentation here--right up until the moment when they tout horse and buggy racing! Would any red-blooded young lad want to race horses, when he could race cars? That's for the girls!
