Fisrt Lady Michelle Obama Says Sasha and Malia Dolls "Inappropriate"

The First Lady has expressed her displeasure at the company that marketed dolls based on the names of First Daughters, Malia and Sasha. Ty Dolls has reiterated their claim that "There's nothing on the dolls that refers to the Obama girls," spokeswoman Tania Lundeen said. "It would not be fair to say they are exact replications of these girls. They are not."

It is mere coincidence, apparently, that the dolls, which bears the names of Sweet Sasha and Marvelous Malia surfaced soon after the inauguaration ceremonies. A spokesperson for Ms.Obama has released the following statement:

"We believe it is inappropriate to use young private citizens for marketing purposes,"

I previously posted an item on my skepticism about the dolls a couple of days ago.
