We look at toys all year long…we’re always writing about new trends and new ways of sorting the toys (gender-free, green, multi-cultural, price, high-tech, etc. ). When we first started toyportfolio.com we had a Top Ten Worst Toy List — a list that probably didn’t make us too many friends in toyland…but was a favorite with feature reporters. Our worst list came to mind when we received word of the new PETA list – naming Naughty and Nice Toys for 2009– yet another perspective on toyland. Take a look at their list.
I wonder whether the organization is in favor of all the fake animals…zhu zhu hamsters, furreal pets, etc?
They might have legitimate reasons for liking them — if kids get a fake hamster instead of a real one and it fills the same “niche”
Nevermind, I’d like your worst toys list better than theirs. Theirs seems to have everything to do with philosophy and nothing to do with what the recipient will actually enjoy — not very giving, eh?
