Ty: You should be ashamed of yourself!

Adults never cease to amaze me. There are times when it is definitely true that children play fairer than adults. In this case, Ty just isn't playing fair. The toymaker has created the Sweet Sasha and Marvelous Malia dolls. According to a story in the Washington Post, the company claims that the dolls "are not made to be exact replicas of the first couple's daughters and are not based on the Obama girls."

Now who believes that? First Lady Michelle Obama doesn't believe it. Mrs. Obama's press secretary released this statment, "We feel it is inappropriate to use young, private citizens for marketing purposes." One thing is clear: As the economy continues in an economic downturn, Ty is trying to boost it sales with the new addition of the Sasha & Malia dolls to the TyGrilz collection.
