Can’t wait to see how Glenn Beck ties this one to the Obama administration (or Van Jones)—pundits at Fox News, start your indignation!

Batteries and dollar bills not included.  A grainy Internet photo of an alleged new toy for girls has parents in a tizzy—“Pole Dance,” a doll that, well, dances around a pole.  Like a stripper.  In the photo, which first appeared on gadget blog Gizmodo.com, the box for the toy depicts a cherubic, brunette doll in a shiny green dress, clutching a pole with a disco ball on top while standing on a small stage that says “Pole Dancer.”  The simple graphics on the box include the words “Style,” “Flash,” “Up and Down,” “Go Round and Round,” and “Music.” 

Whether or not it’s a hoax or a sign of the apocalypse, posters on parenting Web site parentdish.com were aghast over the suggestive doll sending a horrible message to young girls.  A writer for Gizmodo.com told parentdish.com that the new doll is likely authentic—and probably came from Asia.  “As far as I can tell, it’s a real product,” said Gizmodo.com’s Jesus Diaz.  “It didn’t seem Photoshopped to me.  It feels more like the typical Chinese-made product you can only find in low cost stores.”
