Oh Sweet Jeebus

If your kid is watching Breaking Bad and KNOWS what a bag of meth is, then you have bigger problems as a parent than a few action figures sold at Toys R Us. There are worse gruesomely realistic toys out there like the entire WALKING DEAD line. She has no problems with heads in fish tanks but a Heisenberg figure wigs her out? All she did was make the toys all the more collectible. I know for sure she couldn't name five characters on that program.

I was working in a video store in Pittsburgh and one day a lady came up with her 9 year old and a copy of predator. She asked if there was any nudity in it, I said I don't recall any but it's extremely violent and graphic. She said: "that's ok, as long as he doesn't see naked girls." ....now, what's more harmful to a child's development? A persons head being splattered across the jungle or a nipple? Priorities people.

I was on a plane once where they showed an altered version of Charlie's Angels. The movie was so cut up it was 20 minutes. All the violence was still there but none of the sexy dancing.

Totally wrong headed. Can't show women's breast but ok to show any amount of graphic violence imaginable. Totally backwards. No wonder we're f*cked up.

You can thank the catholic church for most of that and other outrageous bullshit.

There is a great petition to Toys R Us to continue to cater to adult collectors that was created by Daniel Pickett at AFI through Change.org. Sign it here: http://www.change.org/p/toys-r-us-keep-breaking-bad-and-other-adult-collector-figures-on-tru-shelves?recruiter=162461784

Which is the way it should be. I lost my Django Unchained figures the same way. I was set to get all six when they were pulled.
