It's the American Way…
http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews/article/616279/toys_gone_wild%3A_company_hawking_anatomically_correct_anthony_weiner_action_figure/

It's only a matter of time until Madame Tussaud gets hold of this one: a Connecticut-based action hero doll company is selling a replica of Anthony Weiner, and according to the New York Post, it's flying off the shelves, so to speak. Dressed in a gray gym suit with a logo that says "Tweet This" where his, ahem, YFrog would be, HeroBuilders.com is selling both a "censored," Ken doll-style version of the figure... and one with a little more girth in the nether regions. The x-rated doll is ten dollars more than the going price of $39.95, but clearly fans are hoping for a little more bang for their buck -- the Post reports that out of 250 sold, all of them were "enhanced." And in case Weiner's doll weiner was not enough, they're also offering a miniature BlackBerry, sold separately.
