Hard hitting segment from FauxNews: "Is Dora too hot?"
Edited on Tue Mar-17-09 01:14 PM by jefferson_dem
Dora the Explorer that is. They just presented a "news segment" that showed pictures of a new Dora "tween" doll that's being rolled out.

"I wouldn't want my daughter playing with this" ... "Ya...look at those lips...leggings. She seems to have lost her backpack and her compass."

The google shows that FauxNews is not alone in their ... OUTRAGE.

9. Waves hand...
Excuse me, excuse me - but what girl goes off on physically-challenging adventures in a dress and leggings??


Besides, I hate purple and pink.

My 2-year-old girl (who should be treated to a realistic role model) and I will stick with 6-year-old Dora, thanks!

18. I used to run around in the woods in the 1985 version of that outfit:
Light capris and a long shirt.

It's a good outfit for wading in the creek, it dries quickly, it's easy to layer, it doesn't snag on stuff, and you can use your long shirttails to carry stuff. :D

20. I grew up in the 70s and 80s and I would have gotten killed if
I'd gone out in "nice" clothes.

:shrug:

13. The last thread on this had just the silhouette...
of the new Dora, and there was plenty of outrage to spare.

I have absolutely no dog at all in this fight, but I can't help asking what is the problem with Dora looking like a girl?

15. Perverts!
On what planet does that picture depict sluttiness or anything age inappropriate? Faux news is running out of outrage.

17. They have GOT to be kidding
it's a cute design, but if anyone is turned on by it I think they need to get a bit of psychological help. That person has some serious issues.

19. The real problem they have with Dora is that
she speaks Spanish and teaches kids "Liberal" values. They just aren't articulate enough to express what they thing, so they revert to the usual nonsense.
