oh my god.

They're so FREAKISH.

Are we living in a John Waters movie or something, by any chance? Just thought I'd ask.

Wait, now female DOGS have to be sexy????? They're expected to wear tight jeans and have perfect hair and attract male attention? What the hell?? That is so creepy!!

those things are TERRIFYING! how did they manage to give those dogs that "mean girls" glint in their eyes?

Oh my god, that is like something out of a horror movie. Oh god alive, what is the world coming to? I'm laughing right now at the sheer hilarity of it.

'unleash your doggie diva'?

Did they think about it much, before they came up with that tagline...?

'Mommy, I want one of those to unleash my Doggie Diva.'

Wow I remember when I was young and My Little Pony didn't have to wear clothes and went on adventures instead of *gasp* going to the mall (how thrilling)
... I miss those days

Also did anyone else suddenly get the feeling that this was a bit 'Furry'?

Oh Dear God. That is frightening. My jaw literally dropped at the ridiculosity of it all.

I miss my old My Little Pony's as well. I even had an awesome stable for them.

Actually my first thought was, "Well, it's better than buying a living animal as a toy or a fashion accessory."

I had that thought too Cactus Wren...but then I thought, doesn't this promote that very idea? I mean, a kid who has one of these is essentially being taught that a dog is a fashion accessory. So when they are old enough to adopt their own live pet, is that how they will treat it? If no one ever teaches them otherwise. And when the next hot toy comes along, are they being taught that their plaything pets are disposable? And, by projection, real ones?

That scares me.

I must say, my female dog is sexy without having to wear clothes and shit. haha Or you know...she's a dog, so she's a loving, smart, sweet and adorable companion, with nothing even approaching sexuality (not even dog sex...she was spayed long before her first heat). And not an accessory, but a friend and companion to my family.

I have a sneaking suspicion these dogs aren't having adventures or solving crimes...we don't want to promote those dangerous ideas to little girls today. Look at all those girls who grew up in the 80s with She-Ra and other such things, they are scary women now, with their careers and independent thoughts and feminist blogs.

lol

Whoops, that was supposed to say "friend and companion AND MEMBER OF my family."

'Cuz Zelda is totally my baby.

Unfortunately there is a market - my stepdaughter's preschool class, to start with. Yet another toy on the market that forces us into one of those how-do-we-explain-to-her-that-this-is-offensive moments. Hurray.

Jesus tapdancing christ, why?! I am utterly speechless. I truly wish I had more to contribute in this comment, but I think this says something in itself that the very sight of these mutant hellspawn can render someone totally dumb. (In more ways than one...?)
