Did American Girl Go Too Far
American Girl dolls are the hottest dolls you can get. Their popularity is a far reaching.
Although at this moment there is a lot of talk of them ‘going too far’. They have a new addition of a ‘Homeless American Girl Doll’ named ‘Gwen’ and many are seriously questioning the decision. While the economic issues of many Americans is in shambles and things are still looking grim (for the time being) the decision to create a ‘Homeless’ doll is leaving a bad taste in many mouths.
According to an article from Chicago Now:
Doesn’t this seem like a sick joke? How can a place that openly celebrates excess and waste (like paying $25 to learn the secrets of doll hair stylists) seriously claim to be bringing attention to the plight of homeless children in our country?
Rather than devote our resources to making sure that children don’t have to sleep in cars, we instead create a $95 doll in order to explain the homeless epidemic to our kids? This is just plain offensive.
What do you think? Is this offensive? Or is this simply a sign of the times?
