Try this one:

Put her on her little pink plastic toilet. Press the purple bracelet on Baby Alive Learns to Potty. “Sniff sniff,” she chirps in a singsong voice. “I made a stinky!”

This season’s animatronic Baby Alive — which retails for $59.99 — comes with special “green beans” and “bananas” that, once fed to the doll, actually, well, come out the other end. “Be careful,” reads the doll’s promotional literature, “just like real life, sometimes she can hold it until she gets to the ‘potty’ and sometimes she can’t!” (A warning on the back of the box reads: “May stain some surfaces.”)

  1. I’m happier to see a more realistic baby doll than games with more realistic gunshot wounds. If only Americans will be as comfortable with everything else the human body does as they are with bodies dying.

  2. I had a Baby Alive when I was a kid, though mine didn’t talk and wasn’t animatronic. You could feed it baby food though, and it did come out the other end.

    That was my very favorite doll until it finally fell apart from being dragged everywhere I went.

  3. My baby alive failed to erm…get things out of the other end and they stayed trapped inside of her. It began to stink rather quickly and I had to throw it away.

  4. Yeah, whatever. I can remember the fuss that was kicked up when they came out with an anatomically correct doll for Archie Bunker’s grandson.

    However, I FREAKING LOVE THAT PIC!!!!
