So if you weren't already aware of the fact that President Obama's two girls are named Sasha and Malia now you are and Ty Inc. made two dolls using their names. Needless to say the Obamas were not ok with that idea and let the company know who now is renaming the dolls. My favorite part of the story is that the company claimed that the dolls were not named after the girls, but instead the names were beautiful. Um yeah because I just pull the names Sasha and Malia out of thin air when I am naming a doll?
I also love that the company that is making the dolls also made Beanie Babies. I remember when Beanie Babies were selling for a lot of money and the dolls are on eBay for over $100 right now. I guess getting the dolls on tv worked out for them well in this case, since they are listed as a $10 doll. Oh and the dolls new names are Sweet Sydney and Marvelous Mariah.
