I mean, really though... this was kind of stupid to sell something like this. Regardless of people getting outrageously offended over everything, who the frick would approve of this on their store shelf?

Sounds to me like we have a scale model for the new Lee Circle statues.

Reniqa is completely misinterpreting this. It's not saying that blacks are inferior. It's saying that blacks are the devil.

This is outrageous but pharrell williams and his entire band can hold up the blank panthers fist on the voice and no one has a problem with that.

This seems odd. I don’t believe anyone would be petty enough to complain about this...

The bigger issue to me is who the hell thought it would be a good idea to depict a toddler slaying another toddler at his feet?


Toddlers fighting is awesome.

These were only sold in one Dollar General store. Seems racist.

It's almost like someone is forcing you to read the Bible. Oh, and Santa isn't the only one watching.
