THIS MONTH’S “THAT INCREDIBLE AWARD

There’s a new toy on the market. It’s the Grindhouse Series 1 Rapist #1 Action Figure.” I kid thee not (I wish I were). The doll maker states the recommended age for having this rapist doll is “3 years and up.” Oh. The rapist doll carries a pistol, and is dressed in military attire. I have a photo of the doll, but I will not post it. The rapist doll glorifies rapists, and connects rapists to the military. That wins my “That’s Incredible Award.” Shame on the doll manufacturer. Shame on any pervert who would buy this doll.

Congratulations to Rep. Anna Fairclough for introducing House Joint Resolution 22, a resolution “Denouncing the National Entertainment Collectibles Association's production of the Rapist No. 1 collectible doll.” I’m a co-signer on the resolution. As Chair of the House State Affairs Committee, I’ve put the resolution at the heard of the line for a hearing in my committee on May 1st 2007.

The packaging for the figure clearly reads 18 & Up. Why spread disinformation just because you read it somewhere? This furor stems exclusively from misunderstanding of the source material.
