Hasbro "just says no" to Pussy

Pussy as in The Pussycat Dolls.

Do y'all remember this bit of madness? Well, this is the first time I agree with those crazy fundamentalist groups.

Girls already have to contend with the incredibly screwed up messages of Barbie and the Bratz dolls. Why would anybody think it's OK to sell dolls of strippers to six year-olds?

[via MTV News - Hasbro Decides Not To Stickwit Pussycat Dolls Toy Line]:

On Wednesday, less than a month after first announcing plans for a line of dolls based on the sexy sirens, Hasbro has announced its decision to shelve the figures indefinitely, declaring them "inappropriate" for young consumers because the act is targeted toward a more mature audience.

"Hasbro will not move forward with the line of dolls based on the Pussycat Dolls," a statement from the toy manufacturer reads. "[PCD's label] Interscope's current creative direction and images for the group are focused on a much older target than we had anticipated at the time of our original discussions, thereby making a doll line inappropriate for Hasbro."

A spokesperson for Hasbro declined further comment.

I don't know anything about astrology but glock damn it; we're on some weird retrograde course that is somehow lasting more than 30 years. Think the Reagan years and onward.

Sigh.
