Forty-thousand psycho moms are at it again

One million Forty-thousand (according to their Facebook page numbers) psycho moms have taken issue with a new Archie comic being sold in a toy store. Here’s what these deluded broads have to say this time:

“Select Toys ‘R’ Us stores are now selling ‘Archie’ comic books with a same-sex wedding displayed on the front cover. The front cover reads “Just Married” with two men marrying and one is wearing a service uniform. This comic book is being sold in select stores across the country. One example is the Queensbury, NY location in the upstate New York area.

Toys ‘R’ Us employees do not actually set up the displays; they leave this up to the vendor, but they should be aware of the merchandise being sold in their stores nonetheless. These comic books are sold at the front checkout counters so they are highly visible to employees, managers, customers and children. Unfortunately, children are now being exposed to same-sex marriage in a toy store. This is the last place a parent would expect to be confronted with questions from their children on topics that are too complicated for them to understand. Issues of this nature are being introduced too early and too soon, which is becoming extremely common and unnecessary.


A trip to the toy store turns into a premature discussion on sexual orientation and is completely uncalled for. Toys ‘R’ Us should be more responsible in the products they carry.”

They also have a “Take Action” link where you can send a form letter to Toys ‘R’ Us complaining about the comic being showcased. You can edit the letter to write whatever you want, so if you’d like to send Toys ‘R’ Us a letter of support, and stick it to 40,000 bitches, click here.
