Did Miley Cyrus Influence Toymakers to Make a Pole Dancing Doll?


There's been something pretty funky going around in Toy Land lately. First their were "anatomically correct" male dolls being made, then there were breast feeding dolls, and now...Pole Dancing doll?

According to the toy's box, the doll is made to be "Interesting", full of "Style", play "Music", and "Flash" all while the dolls dances "Up and Down" and "Goes Round and Round".

It is not fully clear whether or not it is a valid product. However, the photo is not believed to be photoshopped. It is believed to be a cheap product of China to only be sold at a few low-cost stores.

The idea to create a pole dancing doll may have been inspired by Miley Cyrus's pole-dancing performance at the Teen Choice Awards. Cyrus' music and show generally appeals to a younger audience of girls who still play with dolls. Toy makers may believe that if children have a pole-dancing doll that resembles Miley Cyrus, sales will spike.

What is your take on this pole dancing doll? Do you think it is cute and creative or highly inappropriate? Would you buy one for a younger child?
