YIKES

I saw this doll today at a drugstore. It may be the scariest doll I have ever seen. It's supposed to be Hillary Clinton.

?? I guess everyone's speechless.

I know I am ...

[rickh]

oh my >insert diety of choice< i guess Hallowe'en is drawing close. scary stuff like that should sell well. i'm hoping there aren't similar costumes. i might freak out if some little kid dressed like that AND wearing the mask came to my door.

and yet, i would probably have voted for her. Hillary, not the doll.

[Kathybear]

Looks more like Ellen Degeneres to me. NTTAWWT, unless you're Hillary Clinton....

[SandyEggo]

On the box, it says "Try Me". What do you suppose THAT means?

[Steve (The 24 Guy)]

That is definitely the "I just ate your heart! What are you going to do about it??" pose.

[padraig]

My sister has the nutcracker model. Honest.

I can't wait for the Palin doll with working shotgun and pre-sharpened skinnin' knife.

[Steve Haller]

(in case you thought pad was kidding...)

[Steve Haller]

And by the way...

(Scan down for a great Doonesbury, even though they have the strips in reverse order...)

[Bill]

I feel your pain, Dave. Every day.

[Melody Platz]

It looks like the vampire version of Amy Poehler

[CJrun]

I dunno. Based upon that posture, I'm thinking she just ripped one.

[Cat R]

As for costumes, I'm going as my 401(k) statement.

Scariest damned thing I've seen all year.

[Margaritaville]

I wondering who exactly a person would buy that for.

[frodolives]

Bride of Chucky???

[rickh]

Marg'ville

personally, i would buy that for a friend who is a staunch Republican. and "surprise" her with it.

OK she's not really a "friend" she's my wife.

[anne nahm]

Grrrrr.... Must. Escape. Box. Using. Oversized. Head. Rawr!

[frodolives]

What's worse, it's alive...

[LT]

14.99? That's cheaper than the famous blue dress at the Gap!

[cowhand214]

Damn Steve. I had assumed Trudeau was making up the Palin doll to be funny. I guess I should have known better (that was a great series of strips).

As to the doll Dave has pictured for us . . . its in the eyes. It has crazy eyes. The kind of eyes that say "I can't believe all the sh!t I went through the past 18 months just to still be Senator from New York." That doll is on edge of doing something serious and violent.

I'm going to get another beer.

[frodolives]

I think the blog should vote on the scariest pictue today...

#1

#2

#3

or

#4

I'm split between #1 and #4...

[frodolives]

LT, *SNORKS* "The Gap!!!!!!!!!!"

[Widget]

Geez! I am actually responding to Dave Barry! I read your clips when I lived in Miami over 17 years ago! Cool!

Ok. The doll. Yikes!! That is all I have to say. (You would think I could have thought of something better than that. Sorry!)

[SandyEggo]

Frodo - My vote is for #3 (the woman who tossed boiling water on the groin of her husband) - anyone that looks that happy in a mug shot, is someone to be feared.

[Cat R]

Welcome, Widget.

frodo, I thought there was no number three.

That said, I vote for the giant fish.

[monsoon]

They also want you to "kick the habit". Is there a connection here?

[Steve Haller]

Wait a minute, # 3, that's Weezie, isn't it??

[insomniac]

yes, i got confused yesterday, but it does look more like mrs. jefferson...

movin' on up
to the big house
for throwing hot water on my guy!
movin' on up
to the big house
he lost all the skin from his thighs!

[Uncle Scoopy]

Normally the representations of horror icons are not frightening at all. The little dolls of Freddy Kruger and The Joker always seem to be more silly than scary.

This, however, is an exception. It is nearly as scary as the real Hillary.

[Cat R]

I still think she looks like Florida Evans.

[Wyo Cowboy]

I thought there was no #3.

[Steve Haller]

Frodo, earlier you said Bride of Chucky; sure you weren't thinking of Bride of Frankenstein ??

[SW]

Are you sure that's not Suze Orman?

[Siouxie]

*zaps in*

Why does Hillary have little T-Rex arms???

Nite nite, blog peeps!

*zaps out*

zzzzzzzzzzzz

[Cat R]

Another drive-by Siouxing!
Me too, blogits -- g'nite!
Slinks out®

[BA]

4, I mean 2, ahh 1, no 3

[Divya Jain]

Very good website. I liked it very much. Comments from http://www.valentineday.in

[Mot the Hoople]

Nah, the real thing is still way moer scary.

[WriterDude]

Agreed, Mot. And good morning. The coffee's on me; is there an exotic S.A. breakfast treat you'd like to set out?

[WriterDude]

Oops. Closer to lunch time there, innit? Really, anything is good. ;-)

[Punkin]

I'm going to put this doll outside on my front steps, next to my candy bowl, on Halloween.

THAT oughtta keep the neighborhood rugrats from taking my candy!

[crossgirl]

pssst, rick let me know where you find it. cj would be horrified delighted to find that in his stocking christmas morning!

[meme]

It looks like the doll has a movable jaw. Can she "talk" and that's why it says 'try Me?' I wonder what she might say if you press a button.

[eilbeback]

Cat, re: 7:16, does that mean you're trick-or-treating naked this year? (SNORK!)

[frodolives]

meme,

see my 8:51 pm post on 10/11.

[frodolives]

Cat R and Wyo, I forgot that there is no # 3, but the damage is done...

*SNORKS*

[Cat R]

eilbeback -- *snork!* -- ok, that's scarier yet!

[Mike Antonucci]

If you think that's scary, imagine what one of Bill would look like.

[frodolives]

I'm wondering when the Monica Barbie comes out, complete with blue dress and cigar...

[queensbee]

ooooh.. scaaaaaaary.... uh, i'm guessing they have an over abundance of them...

[Richard the Weasel-Hearted]

I couldn't quite make out / believe the text under her name -- yes, it really does say "Boogie Diva" -- so I looked for a better image. Found something even better: it bounces and sings. The horror, the horror!

[Moz]

Why can't I ever find stuff like this?!?!

[finikki]

Ooooh, those tiny hands look very dangerous.

And I think the "Try Me" is an incitement to violence.

[cspencef]

I vote for picture number two, late but who cares. The guy in the middle is downright scary.

Oh, and the fish is kinda scary too.
