Breaking Bad Toy vs. Uptight Woman

A woman somewhere saw a Breaking Bad toy in Toys R Us. The toys accessory was meth. The toy is made for people over the age of 15 and up. This woman is so offended, she has started a petition to get the store to remove the toy from the shelves.

This is just fucking stupid.

It’s ridiculous that this woman is so offended by a toy she wants it removed. Why? In the same aisle are figures of Freddy Kruger of Nightmare on Elm Street. It comes with a razor glove just like in the movie. There’s also Jason Voorhies from Friday the 13^th. It comes with a hockey mask and machete. Why is she not offended by serial killers who kill teenagers who are fucking? Is it just the drugs the woman is offended by? I mean, seriously. Why is this woman offended by a toy?

There are people who are offended by Barbie dolls. They think that it makes little girls anorexic, gives them an unrealistic body expectation.

Some people are offended by army men or toy guns because VIOLENCE! Do they start petitions? Nope.

Was she offended by Grand Theft Auto 4? The game has you selling drugs, running over people, and killing hookers. Where was her outrage? Would a petition be able to force Toys R Us to remove the game that made more money than many hollywood blockbusters? Or would the store say "fuck off" because people were lining up to get the game? The toy probably didn't sell a huge number of units. The store probably figured it's easier to remove the offending figure than to fight the stupid, uptight lady. 

Does this woman sit in a movie she hates and watch the whole thing and complain about it? That’s fucking stupid. If something offends you, leave. But don’t try to have the movie theater stop playing the movie. There are people who enjoy that form of entertainment. Just like there are people who want to collect the toy.

Basically, don’t like the toy, FUCKING, DON’T BUY IT.

The petition had 8000 signatures. Yeah, out of a country with 330,000,000 people, 8000 isn’t even .000008% of the populace. So a teeny tiny percentage of the uptight populace removes a toy instead of going to a different aisle to shop.  Toys R Us capitulated and is removing the toy from the shelves. So your morality wins, you intolerant person.  I bet she’s a conservative who home schools her kids.  

The thing I find weird, when the show was finishing it's run, the media went nuts with its acclaim of the show and the actors. But now, it's a pariah because of a toy. 

 If stores removed things which piss people off, there would hardly be anything on the shelves. Someone is bound to be pissed f by something that a sane person would not think of being pissed off by.
