What's wrong with you, Lego Creators?????

All last year, my kids were really into Lego Ninjago.  Then, one episode had some scary dragon in it and they pretty much ixnayed Ninjago from then on.

But then Lego came out with Lego Chima and the kids really badly wanted to watch it.  I saw one episode and there was some crazy war between lands and I was like, "WHAAAAAT?!?!"  As if my boys need to watch so much violence!  They already get enough violence in all the Super Heroes / Beyblades / Ninja Turtles crap that is on TV these days.

So last night, I decided to let them watch a Lego Friends episode.  It started off really cute!  It was all about these great friends who were really nice and wanted to help each other save the dolphins!  Awesome, right????

But then I started watching more closely....and I noticed that all the girls had perfectly coifed, streaked hair.  They also had perfect little adorable faces.  And their bodies?????  HOLY SMOKING HOT LITTLE GIRLS!!!  They had teeny tiny waists and they took every opportunity to show off their perfect little figures!  These "kids" also were in school and drove a jeep...I'm still not sure what age range they were supposed to be.

Ok, so yeah...I was reading too much into it at that point....

It was hard not to notice the little attitudes and behaviors they started doing, though.  One girl gave the ol' index finger waggle and almost said, "Oh no you Di'nt!"  They flipped their hair around, they shimmied their hips??  WHAAAT?????  Since when are little Lego girls sex objects???

And then came the final fateful scene that spurred this blog post....

They were supposed to go on a boat cruise so they all showed up in rain coats and rain boots.  No biggie!  But as soon as they realized it was a fun cruise, they INSISTED on going home to get changed because they "can't go on THAT boat looking like THIS!!"

Are you for real, Lego Friends???  Get a life!!

But, then they cut to the girls walking down the deck after they went to get changed and holy crap if it wasn't like Charlie's Angels in child form!

Hot little girls with next to no clothes walking down the dock shakin' what their momma gave them!

I'm not even exaggerating!!!!

And you know how my little 4 year old responded???



"OOOOOoooooooooooooooo!!!   Uh huh!!!"



I'M NOT EVEN JOKING!!!!!!!!!!

To say I was stunned, is an understatement.  I didn't even know where to go with that one!  I mean, at least with Ninjago and Chima, the violence is an obvious No!  I can say, "Stop fighting!" and they get it.

But, what do I say to the subtle sexification of those little Lego girls??
"Stop drooling, Small!"??

Or do I start explaining that girls come in all shapes and sizes and that they are all to be respected and valued??

Hell if I know!!

Here's the link to the episode:

Cut to 12:40 for the scene I mean...

And THAT'S what I'm Talkin' about!!!

All it was missing was a Bowm Chicka Bowm Bowm!!

I guess I should be grateful there was no cleavage at least?!?!


Seriously, Lego!!  Why can't we just let our kids be kids??????

Guess we'll be watching Sesame Street from now on!!!
