    You mean it's a design gone wrong as judged by corrupted adult minds.

    Maybe Hasbro thought that adults would recognize it as a simple toy clay dispenser that a young child could easily use and see nothing phallic about it.

    Now it will be redesigned so the youngest will not be able to play with the Play-doh as easily.

    Sigh...

    Because there's nothing wrong with:

    or

    http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Alive-Gon...aby+alive+doll
    There are rules. Knowing those are easy. There are exceptions to the rules. Knowing those are easy. Knowing when to use them is slightly less easy. There are exceptions to the exceptions. Knowing those is a little more tricky, and know when to use those is even more so. Our industry is FULL of all of the above.
