Sometimes Monkeys just like weird stuff too!


AP Jan 25th

Among the best-selling and most controversial toys of this past holiday season were the $39.95 Mattel "Gotta Go" Doll and the $59.95 Hasbro Baby Alive, both because of their interactive features, especially their digestion/excretion functions. The latter doll comes with its own food ("green beans," "bananas") and a warning ("May stain some surfaces"). The Gotta Go includes a toilet and brings the flushing process to life for the child. An industry insider told the Washington Post that next season's toys would be even more realistic. [Washington Post, 12-22-08]


What we love about these toys:

-The fact that bananas are the included 'poopable' food

-That your monklet will view flushing the toilet as a game and will soon be 'literally' flushing your money down the porcelain goddess for fun.


What we don't like:

-What no poop flinging option?
