    Weird: Controversial Doll Lets Little Girls Pretend to Breast-Feed

    You had your chance. I warned you today would be a weird news day:
    A controversial new doll is leaving some parents wishing for the good old Cabbage Patch days.

    A Spanish toymaker known as Berjuan has developed a breast-feeding doll that comes with a special halter top its young "mothers" wear as they pretend to breast-feed their "babies." The halter top has daisies that cover the little girls’ nipples and come undone just as easily as the flaps of a nursing bra would.

    The doll — called Bebe Gloton, which translates as “gluttonous baby” — makes sucking noises as it "feeds."
    Like many other dolls, Bebe Gloton can cry, signaling she wants more milk.
    Although many health care providers promote the benefits of breast-feeding, parents around the world have criticized Berjuan, saying the idea of breast-feeding is too grown-up for young children -- and may even promote early pregnancy. (FOX News)
    Promoting early pregnancy? Now that's a big stretch.

    But I'm curious, does everyone agree this doll is an all-round bad idea?
