CCFC TOADY Awards 2010 - Thanks for Voting!

CCFC TOADY Awards 2010
I just voted for the worst toy of the year. Voting is now open for the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood’s annual TOADY (Toys Oppressive And Destructive to Young Children) Award for the worst toy of the year – you wouldn’t believe the nominees. Vote now here
Last year, Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader Barbie took home the top prize. From thousands of toys that promote violence and/or precocious sexuality to children and push branded entertainment at the expense of children’s play, CCFC has selected five exceptional finalists. Who will win the dreaded TOADY? It’s up to you.


Thanks!"
