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"
