"Hold me back Cletus!!!!"


"Hold me back Cletus!!!" Somebody done lost their Damn minds!!! Now who left the gate open????
Cute as she is, not even my baby cousin Ms.Pinki can have this baby! The brown-skinned doll is surrounded by monkeys, and wears a hat labeled 'lil monkey.' The white doll counterpart on store shelves is surrounded by pandas, with a hat that reads 'pretty panda.'
A Costco corporate employee said that John Taylor, of Greensboro, N.C., initiated complaints calling the doll racially offensive.( uh yeah) He recently purchased the black doll at a North Carolina Costco store.
Arthur Jackson, vice president of general administration for Costco, told MyFox8 that all versions of the doll were immediately yanked ( now why they have to be yanked??? reminds me of lynching still racism) from store shelves about a week and a half ago, as they began to receive other complaints. A chain letter circulated that encouraged consumers to call Costco and have product number "404860" removed from stores. Corporate Headquarters number is 800-774-2678.
Jackson stated, "We offer our sincere apology to anyone who was offended. That was surely never our intent." ( I guess we have fool written across our foreheads also huh) where is Madea when u need her??? "Peace be still"
