[OT] Parents want Breaking Bad toys pulled from shelves, thoughts?

So it appears that Toys R Us carries a line of Breaking Bad toys, and some people (mostly over reactive mothers) are getting a bit bent out of shape about it and are calling for the toys to be pulled from the shelves and have started a petition to do so. Now I for one think this is a bit infuriating, to think that just because toys are associated mostly with children that its wrong for Toys R Us to carry and toys aimed at adult collectors. To me this is the same kind of nonsense when parents get all up in arms about mature rated games being sold in stores. The real irony being that most of the parents who are supporting the banning of these toys probably more than likely buy M-rated games for their kids but thats besides the point. I just can't wrap my head around the idea of how these toys will somehow "corrupt" kids, after all I seriously doubt Geoffrey the Giraffe is standing in the front of the store waving Heisenberg in front of the faces of the kids that walk into the store. I for one think its great that TRU is a place where adults and children can both shop for toys.



Anyway, just looking to get a discussion about what people think about this and these kinds of outcries from the public.



p.s. If anyone else feels like myself, this is a link to the petition against the banning of these toys if you feel like sharing your opinion.
