Muslim Dolls and Naked Photos

Last week, I enjoyed the comments from a couple of articles:
Doll pulled over Islamic message - on parentdish.com
and
Hottinger: Law didn't anticipate cell phone photo case

The doll is the Little Mommy Real Loving Baby Cuddle and Coo. The name is enough to pull it from the shelves in my opinion, but it's being pulled from Wal-Mart in Oklahoma because the doll is pushing Islam on unsuspecting two-year-olds. There is a video so you can also be influenced in your religious beliefs by this doll (thankfully, since you might not find it in the stores). About half of the comments on this article are from folks who actually believe that someone made this doll say, "Islam is the light." The other half remember the uproar years back over all the things you could hear when you played some records backwards; it made me think of Governer Welsh from Indiana who knew "Louie Louie" was dirty even though he couldn't make out any of the lyrics because it made his ears tingle when he listened to it. The best comment on this story, the funniest to me, was from NAlonso34 who thought they should make a doll that says, "Tom Cruise is the light!" Of course, Lu's was good, too, wanting a doll that says, "Down with Christian fundamentalists!" There were also all the folks who think Obama is behind the doll since he's a secret Muslim and all.

I was fairly happy with the comments on the story at the Newark Advocate about the 15 year old girl that sent nude photos to her friend's cell phones. She's in some trouble now, and she might even have to register as a sex offender. Only a couple of people commented that she should get the same punishment as an actual sex offender. Those people are sick, in my opinion. Calling a 15 year old who sends photos of herself a "sex offender" makes the words meaningless. karggan and others make good points about how if the girl is charged as an adult, she's then considered an adult, so the photos are now those of an adult, not a child. alawyer brings up the fact that the girl is a foster child and is probably being singled out because of it. Also pretty scary how anyone can be in big trouble if their phone receives something illegal even though they have no control over what they receive on their phone.
