WTF? (http://www.wbbm780.com/Beanie-Babies-Maker-Sells-Sasha--Malia-Dolls/3706113)
CHICAGO (AP) - The company that made Beanie Babies a top toy craze is hoping for another winner with dolls named "Sweet Sasha" and "Marvelous Malia."
Now where have we heard those names before?
Ty Inc. has released the 12-inch plush dolls as part of the company's "TyGirlz Collection," introduced in 2007. The Sasha doll has pigtails and wears a white and pink dress with hearts. The Malia doll has a side ponytail and a long-sleeve shirt with capri pants.
The Oak Brook-based company chose the dolls' names because "they are beautiful names," not because of any resemblance to President Obama's daughters, said spokeswoman Tania Lundeen.(Yeah, Right)
"There's nothing on the dolls that refers to the Obama girls," Lundeen said. "It would not be fair to say they are exact replications of these girls. They are not."
Public figures have a legal right to control their how their images are used, but Lundeen would not comment on legal issues or if the company's lawyers have become involved with the dolls.

Not quite that simple, Zeus.
I have no problem with people making money. But I do have a problem with people trying to make money from the image of real kids. These kids have nothing to do with anything surrounding their mother and father. It's best just to leave them out of everything political, mercantile, and grown-up stuff.
Let kids be kids.

You don't believe that the names were chosen purely by chance? :evillaugh:
