Toy store stops selling drug—dealer dolls

彭昊

Toys R Us has stopped selling a drug-dealer doll from the popular American TV series （系列，连续） “Breaking Bad”. One of the figures （人物造型） had bags full of drug money and blue crystal drugs. A mother， Susan Myers， started an online petition （请愿书） to get Toys R Us to stop selling the toys. More than 3，000 people signed it. Ms Myers wrote on the petition， “Toys R Us is well known around the world... However their decision to sell a Breaking Bad doll with a bag of cash and a bag of drugs， alongside childrens toys， is a dangerous move away from their family-friendly values.”

Ms Myers said Breaking Bad was popular with adults， but the dolls from the show should not be on a toy store shelf next to Disney characters. She said， “Parents and grandparents around the world shop at Toys R Us， online and in stores， with their children. They should not but have to explain why a certain toy comes with a bag of highly dangerous drugs not allowed by law， or why someone who sells those drugs should be made into a public figure.”

Toys R Us said the materials used to cover the dolls clearly showed that the dolls are for ages 15 and up. They were in the adult public figure area of the stores.
