Toy Sextion

Today, as I was perusing the aisles of Target with a friend, I came across this disturbing group of dolls:


They are a new line of horror dolls very similar, and may even be, Bratz dolls (I did not look that close at their names). These dolls grossed me out on many levels: their over sexy outfits, large heads, and varying shades of decay skin. Perfect for Halloween right? But what really got my attention was this:


The sole guy (reptile?) doll in the corner looking on at the girl (?) dolls holding his crotch and one of the girl dolls holding his hand there. Really? This is acceptable? Dolls in sexy outfits is pushing it, but a major chain like Target displaying dolls in a way like this? Girls pick dolls like this because they want to be like them. Girls look at their dolls as role models. Adults know this, so how do they find it okay to place dolls on display like this? This is OUTRAGEOUS and DISGUSTING!

Edit:
I did some quick research on the dolls, they are apart of Mattel's new Monster High line. The website shows profiles of all the girls and the one guy. The profiles show stereotypical high school personalities and story line between the dolls. There is a mean head cheerleader doll, boyfriend doll, new popular girl doll, nerdy-smart doll (who isn't even on display), friendly-hippy doll, diva doll, and girly doll. The story line has the mean cheerleader type trying to destroy the reputation of the other girls, but her plans are foiled because the power of friendship and fashion always prevails in the end. Of course none of these events affect the nerdy-smart girl, who is a Zombie and can only speak in moans. Here is the website: http://www.monsterhigh.com/home?mh
