Now they've gone and done it.
Monopoly for girls.
Game pieces like the ole standby of the thimble, the dog, the shoe, have been replaced with the cell phone, the handbag, and the HAIR DRYER.
Thank goodness.
Because girls were too stupid to play Monopoly before. Now maybe they'll understand it better because Hasbro has brought it down to their level.
Grrrrr.

Just to play the devil's advocate, perhaps their motivations were not an attempt to dehumanize women, but rather as crass and as blind as mercenary greed?
Corporations are A-moral creatures, not immoral. Their one purpose is to monetize every property they own, and make a profit. They cannot have any concern for the psyches of little girls: that simply does not come in to their set of priorities.
If you want to stop this kind of stuff, let them know that they will take a LOSS if they continue their poor behavior.
Protests don't work. Pulling at the purse strings does.
rom the makers of Jewopoly!
i bet they left the iron, though. right?
Scooter, I don't think they were intending to dehumanize women. Just target young ones and teach them that their place is at the mall, texting their friends and buying things to make them pretty. I think the message sucks.
Underhill, I totally have Jewpoly! Also, Boggle, The Mormon Addition. So fun.
Jeremy, that's really funny. I wish they'd left the shoe though, so I could kick your ass. Mwah.
For a little while I collected Monopoly sets. Maybe they're testing the collectors. I'd buy it.
Hey, I thought this was a joint-effort blog...
So did I, Jack. So did I.
