According to Hasbro’s Rose Petal Kitchen commercial, a little girl’s dreams will come true by doing laundry, baking cupcakes, tending to her baby, and decorating her home. Clearly all little girls aspire to be housewives.
Bratz sexy school girl doll – because all six year old girls should have their very …
… own sexy, scantily-clad plaything to emulate when they go to school.
Mattel has an entire line of Barbie dolls called “I Can Be.” The dolls vary from a baker with her child apprentice, a ballroom dancer, a slutty-looking rocker, a racecar driver in tight pants, a sexy vet in a short dress holding a kitten, but most importantly, a bride. That’s right little girls, you can be a bride. Who needs the pesky dream of becoming a CEO, lawyer, doctor, journalist, or what have you when you can be a bride?
If you thought Disney was over the top with their marketing of everything princess-related for little girls, then check out this handy dandy toy set. Now your little girl can be a princess and a maid at the very same time. Forget about the Rose Petal Kitchen, a princess chore caddy is the stuff of real dreams! SPECTACULUAR!
This isn’t really offensive. It’s just plain gross. This Baby Alive doll can eat food and poop it right out. Now little people can change the diapers of mechanical dolls. I can’t imagine anything else being more fun than changing pretend shitty diapers. Aside from changing real shitty diapers, that is. Apart from this pooping doll there is also a mechanical puppy being sold this year that eats and also defecates.
These are, by far, some of the most bizarre gifts I’ve run across.
What about you guys, see anything crazy lately?
I have a plan to buy a Ken doll, a Barbie sized toy camera and some of the skankier Bratz doll (including the Bratz Babies). I’m going to set up a scene with the Ken doll taking photos of the Bratz dolls. Bratz dolls are disgusting and I think they should be displayed in a way that best highlights the inappropriateness of the entire line.
Also, I think the man who came up with these dolls should be on a watch list of some sort.

The cooking and cleaning toys wouldn’t bother me in the slightest if they’d just make them in neutral colors.
Is it that hard to make toys that help children act out real life in colors that are meant for both sexes?
My son is dying for a kitchen playset and they’re all pink and hearts and flowers. Of course, that won’t stop me from getting it for him.
Maybe that’s the next step in gender equality as far as toys are concerned. I spent a lot of time teaching my daughter that boy toys aren’t just for boys.
Maybe it’s time for little boys to reclaim the toy world as well…
Bahaha the timing on that commercial is gold! “Entertain her imagination” “Let’s do laauuundry!” To be fair, this house would have been my dream toy as a kid, but only because the houses they made back then to play in were all the standard plastic outdoor things with a “kitchen sink” and that’s about it :P I agree with Alzaetia about the colors of the toys; boys actually love to pretend to be grown-ups and play house too, and if the colors weren’t so obviously gendered I think the toy would be much less offensive. Plus they’d have twice the market to sell it to, so it’s really stupid business sense to only gear it toward little girls. For a toy that’s so big on “living out dreams” and “entertaining imagination” you’d think they should know that this house could become all kinds of different things – an igloo, a spaceship, a boat! So why make it so house-ey? It’s much more easier to imagine alternatives when the details are a bit more vague. Also the laundry machine needs to go, I’m sorry. That space could have been used for something much more exciting. Plus everyone already has their own laundry machines, I’m sure if a kid really wanted to practice moving clothing in and out of them they’d be more than welcome to use the real one in most houses.
I loved the wedding Barbies. I think it’s just fun to have the puffy dress Barbie.
I do agree that the playsets really should just come in neutral colors. It’s kind of stupid to have all of that pink stuff; you can’t find pink irons or washing machines.
Not only are those pooping dolls gross, they only come with a couple packs of “food”. The kid runs out of the food that day, and refills are expensive. Yuck.
Get a dog, and have all the “food” you need for the pooping dolls. It’s more real, too.
Hahahaha best. idea. ever! You could sell that shit for a good price I’m sure.

if they’re going for the whole 50′s concept on the rose petal cottage.
Tens of millions of women live very fulfilling lives being house wives and raising a family. I see no problem in aspiring to do just that.

As for the bride, I am sure you can buy Ken as a groom. So what’s the big deal?
Those all aren’t that bad. My mother-in-law gave my 4 year old daughter a pregnant barbie. And the Barbie looks like one the girls on 16 and Pregnant.
Well, I hate to say it, but I either HAD all those toys or wanted them when I was young lol On the plus side, I grew up sane and normal, don’t let men push me around, gainfully employed (in math sciences no less *gasp*), AND I still love the satisfaction of a beautifully clean house and nice fresh laundry! I just might be crazy, but I’m pretty sure that my parents encouraging me to speak my mind, get an education, listening to me and treating me with respect and love, had a lot more to do with my adult self than a TOY. But that’s just one barbie’s opinion ;)
It’s a lot of fun to get and give an assortment of gifts items and it’s a good way to ensure that everyone is included in the family during the happy occasion. It’s especially good to remember any other little brothers or sisters in the family, who may perhaps and probably feel somewhat left out by all the fuss over the new baby.^
