As some of you may have heard, a concerned busybody in Florida made the dubious claim that TRU was selling Breaking Bad action figures "alongside" children's toys.
Personally, every TRU I have ever set foot in has the adult-oriented collectibles in a dedicated aisle.
Unfotunately, TRU seems to have bowed to the whims of a braying minority, and agreed to remove the figures from their shelves.
This should be disturbing to everyone, regardless of whether you are a fan of Breaking Bad. Why? Because now that the pattern of behavior and response is established, the malcontents have learned that all they have to do is whine to get something they don't like removed from the store. Sick of those scantily-clad wrestling toys? Gone. Decide that G.I. Joe glorifies violence? Outta there. Optimus Prime looked at you funny? So long!
In any event, if you care about the brick-and-mortar availability of any action figures of any kind, sign this petition!
