If anyone was wondering if the world was doomed, here is your confirmation.
The scoop on this new plaything came from Gizmodo’s Jesus Diaz, and features a somewhat grainy photo of a doll in a shiny dress hanging on a pole. A giant heart emblazoned with the word “Pole Dance” is at the top. The box promises “Style.” “Interesting.” “Music.” “Flash.” “Up and Down.” “Go Round and Round.” It might’ve said “Ewww,” “Gross,” “Criminal”," but in all likelihood the upstanding manufacturers ran out of room.
No mention is made of inserting money anywhere.
In an email message, Diaz told us today: “As far as I can tell, it’s a real product. It didn’t seem PhotoShopped to me. It feels more like the typical Chinese-made product you can only find in low cost stores.”
We were unable to confirm the actual existence of this product. Google searches turn up nothing more than references to the Gizmodo item. So perhaps there is some hope for the planet.
Then again, maybe not.
In case you haven’t noticed, pole-dancing has become mainstream. Miley Cyrus’ recent performance on the Teen Choice Awards onAugust 10thgenerated a lot of controversy.
I hope this doesn't get into the market we have enough rubbish on TV and computer games we really don't want rubbish like this messing up innocent children's minds.
omg they actually do have that too, or something similar
i saw it in the toy store a few eids ago when i was shopping for eid presents…it was a stuffed dog, and it had a “baby dog” inside its uterus or belly or somewhere, and then you were supposed to delivery the baby dog to get it out -which i guess was just like opening the socket and pulling it out!!
anyways, on a somewhat related note [perhaps], isnt it weird that u can take barbie's clothes off and she is totally naked and meanwhile ken has a permanantly fixed plastic underwear on! why does barbie have to be totally naked but ken gets to keep his underwear???
