I just stumbled upon this article from Australia’s Daily Telegraph, in which a bunch of parents complain about, of all things, some Naruto figures. The figures hold the usual deadly weapons and admittedly, Naruto’s face doesn’t exactly scream “friend to puppies and small children.” The complaints appear to be led by the Homicide Survivors Association.

Meanwhile, Mattel’s stance is that “it was up to parents whether they wanted their children to own a doll based on the ninja ethos of weapons and defence.”

To translate: we just make the toys. You raise your own damn kids.
