"Our children are now moved along from the cartoon violence in 'Ninja Turtles' to the cold-blooded murder in 'The Matrix Reloaded' in just a few short years"

IT'S NOT COLD-BLOODED MURDER IF HE'S SITTING IN A DENTIST CHAIR!

Now come on, when we tell kids that they can't play with ninja turtles, something has DEFINITELY gone wrong in the course of common logic.

"Hi! My name is Yasmin!
My friends call me 'Pretty Princess' because I rule!"

I really don't remember liking that kind of crap when I was a kid... either I just don't remember, or kids are getting dumber.

Christ, this whole article's full of gems.

"'The message on the toy's box says, "Judge, jury and enforcer! ... Casey has a unique sense of what's right or wrong and you better be on the side of right or he'll slap shot you upside your head with his hockey stick."

"About "The Hulk" toy, the group said the stuffed green toy looks "friendly and harmless as the Jolly Green Giant but is based on a PG-13 movie about rage."

I've gotta see the toy that makes the Hulk look like the Jolly Green Giant.

"Hey! My name is Jade! My friends call me 'Kool Kat' because I love cats! And I'm cool!"

I think they should re-name these dolls 'Kuntz'.

Oh and why do the Bratz boys all have serial killer style nicknames? 'The Fox' 'The Dragon', 'The Panther'.

May as well be called the Ripper.

"Bratz" remind me of that episode of "The Simpsons" where Lisa buys a Talking Malibu Stacey doll and is shocked to hear it say things like "Don't ask me, I'm only a girl!"

Girls toys in general totally blow goats. I work in a department store, and all the boys toys are awesome robots and motorcycles and other cool shit, but the girls have things like replica ironing boards, washing lines and coffee machines!

Why would you want to play pretend at something as tedious as ironing- that you are going to DREAD as soon as you reach adulthood.

I had awesome toys as a kid. Lots of stuffed animals and Transformers, hell yeah.

I grew up way the heck out in the country and my folks din't make a hell of a lot of money - so my sister and I played with the same toys. I think she turned out a hell of a lot better, as a woman, than 90% of the girls that I met in college. I mean - everyone seems to think that we've moved out of the misogyny and into the 90's (or whatever the hell we call out current decade) but the same tired shit is being played out in toystores and video games accross the country - hell, accross the world! Why are we trying to convince our children not to think - more than that, why are we trying to coax our daughters back in the kitchen? Is it because men have been doing such a good job? HELL NO! The world is being bent over by men... I say we give all the boys cookbooks, ironing boards and demeaning stereotypical material to convince them to be house-husbands, and give the women a crack at fucking up the world before there aint nuthin' left to fuck up!

Whoever made that incomprehensible table is on crack.

And I hardly think a Hulk action figure is anywhere near the same category as "More shocking than Grand Theft Auto" Manhunt.

Why are DVD's considered children's toys? In theory, aren't those films rated that children shouldn't be seeing them?

Oh, and fuck the Power Rangers. Put them on any watchdog list you want.

I think the most violent toy my parents ever bought me was a pair of boxing gloves... I'd use one and my friend would use the other and we'd pound the shit out of each other till we were nearly unconcious...

When I went home this summer I saw these giant Hulk fists and I wanted them so bad.

Joy.

It's disturbing that my seven year old brother is more capable of discerning between what is real and what is fantasy than these people.
