The "push me button" of a Hannah Montana doll  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532) 2 years ago

Little girls loves talking dolls, Talking dolls have this button that they have to push just to make them talk or sing. Usually they were placed on the back of the doll to make it talk. Anyway there is a Hannah Montana doll marketed for little girls that became a cause of outrage to some parents when they found out where the push me button is located.

Watch the video to know where the "push me" button is placed.

if i were a mother, i wouldn't buy my daughter that doll.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I understand why you wont, Of all places where they can put that button, they chose the most inappropriate ones. Its really crazy isnt it? I dont know what the heck those toy designers were thinking.

maybe they think it's funny but it's not. or maybe they will get a high sale rate because children might be curious about that doll.

It was already pulled off from stores because of the controversy but its now available in eBay. The toy producers forgot their market are little girls not some sick men who loves pushing a vajayjay,

I figured as much. I mean the location ofthe push me button. That is just so wrong. I vaguely remember strings that you can pull on barbie's, but they were located on their back. It's just terribly disgusting to see where the push me button is. I like this guy though, he's not afraid to speak his mind.

That guy is a toy designer so he knows a lot about toys, He was really was upset with this design. Plus this is release when Miley Cyrus was still underage. Then the doll have to bushed on that area. Until now I was in disbelief it was marketed for little girls.


myLot reputation of 98/100. SomeCowgirl (14318)   ranked 16 out of 232 in wtf?  2 years ago

I wasn't aware he was a toy designer, if he said so I guess I wasn't listening. After watching that video I went and watched two more. I mean the girl has really grown up, one video the guy said basically "if your going to be doing this, get off of the kid networks, the kid networks are already screwed up as is, but my little girls look up to you." he even said "I had or have to throw away a miley cyrus bag for my little girls now... your costing me money." Now I know some of that stuff he said was just made up, like the bag? I doubt he bought it if their was any doubt in his mind at the time, but who knows he could've had it for months before he actually intended to give it to his girls.

In any case, all I am saying is I just wonder how Miley was pushed to this. I also wonder if the Celebrities get to approve or disapprove their toys before they are mass manufactured and marketed. You would think so, so I could hardly believe Miley or her father Billy Ray agreeing to the design, but that's another story altogether. I mean, I don't know who approves it before their release, but somebody wasn't thinking.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I really wonder to if Miley or her dad where aware that a doll named after her that was kinda controversial was released in the market. But Disney had been involved to some controversial toys before. I think some celebs see their doll versions before it was released n the market. Disney was turned into a teen idol factory that brainwashes little girls.


myLot reputation of 98/100. SomeCowgirl (14318)   ranked 16 out of 232 in wtf?  2 years ago

I guess they may not have been aware that the doll was released, atleast not until after it's released. She does have a little sister who may have discovered it, and I am sure she would be a bit disturbed by it too, if she understood it. She seemed really smart, the videos I've seen of her, and she's real pretty too.

I know that disney has semed to change, it's more of a teen network, as if it's competing with Teen Nick.

That is... so weird! Well, I'm not a Hannah Montana fan but having a "push me button" doll is really weird for me...


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

and the push me button is placed on her Vajayjay and that makes it controversial. Push me buttons are supposed to be place on the back of the doll.

Oh no, I guess this guy; the designer is a pervert or f blind why on earth were they thinking this is just wrong. Maybe they think that kids are all innocent and that it won't harm them angry but what about next time a girl or a boy wants to touch a human down there to see if it talks or not thumbdownwrong so wrong.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

I never thinked of that worst case scenario that kids might think push the crotch of a person will make it sing and dance just like the Hannah Montana doll. Its really weird it was strategically places down there of all the places.

definiatly poor product design! I think these celebrities especially the ones aimed and tweens have no idea what they signed their rights to use their like-ness for. EEK! I'd be embarassed between the toy mfgr, disney & HM.
