Michelle Obama Unhappy with Sweet Sasha and Marvelous Malia Dolls

How would you feel about having an inanimate version of yourself? I know a lot of people would be very happy to have one.
But First Lady Michelle Obama is not most people. She is displeased on behalf of her children - Sasha and Malia - after Toy Company, Ty Inc., released two new dolls that closely resemble the first daughters.

The company denies it and says: “We did not make the dolls to physically resemble either of the Obama girls.”
But then, the names Marvelous Malia and Sweet Sasha obviously say otherwise!

The First Lady is not happy about it; she feels it is not appropriate to use young, private citizens for marketing purposes as what Ty Inc. is obviously trying to do. It’s no secret that the First Couple wants their children to live as normal as possible, and making these dolls for profit is not going to help in that aspect. Sasha and Malia are in a vulnerable age and having dolls that look like them could affect them in a negative way, as what psychologists say.

The two new dolls are the latest additions to the TyGirlz Collection.
Jammin’ Jenna, Happy Hillary, Precious Paris, and Bubbly Britney are some of its previous creations.

Do you think it's OK for Ty Inc. to use Sasha and Malia to make money by making these dolls of them?

    This is wrong. Obama's daughters need their privacy

    I think it's okay. Just like having a statue at a Madame Tussauds museum!
