Personally, I dont like the idea I think it can be unheathly for kids. I never really saw something like this coming along. What do u think ? http://newsfeed.time.com/2010/09/09/new-line-of-german-stuffed-animals-with-mental-illnesses/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure their viewpoint is that they are trying to put a warm fuzzy face on serious conditions experienced by people. I don't believe that though. I can't imagine a parent buying one of these and trying to explain a serious issue like this to a little child.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only solace we can take from the condition of the world today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think theyd pick up on what kind unless verbally told. But STILL I wouldnt feel comfortable letting children have those and I wouldnt want money going to the creator since that would be encouraging and supporting that effort to make more bizarre products.

But it's not really surprising that someone is trying to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
