The Cellar - View Single Post - 7/10/2003: "Hulk" doll fully-equipped

England's Sun has this one. A six-year-old apparently won this Hulk doll at Brighton Pier (similar to US boardwalk piers). Not in this condition -- his shorts originally covered up his frank 'n' beans.

Maybe you'd like him when he's angry?

In the US this would typically result in Parental Outrage(TM), followed closely by ratty lawyers, media attention, etc. In the UK, the young girl is actually pictured in the story, holding the doll and giving it a stern look. Mom's reaction is mild annoyance, but she knows her kid is fine. Personally I prefer the UK's culture in this matter, and it doesn't seem to have torn apart their morality as a people.

Hey, isn't there a Cellar user from near Brighton?
