Weiner doll crashes website
A Rep. Weiner doll released recently is so popular it's causing loading problems on the website HeroBuilders.com.
The Oxford, Conn., company, which in the wake of the death of Osama bin Laden released a Rambama doll (a mix between Rambo and President Obama), has also created G.I. Joe type dolls in the likenesses of Sarah Palin, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.
Unlike the previous creations, the Weiner doll comes in two styles. For $39.95 customers can purchase the standard Anthony Weiner action figure, but for $10 more, collectors can nab an adults-only Weiner doll that claims to be an anatomically correct version of the disgraced congressman.
And for those who wish to get an accessory for the action figure, for the low price of $18, one can purchase a toy BlackBerry to complete the tribute to the New Yorker who has been told to resign by top leaders on both sides of the aisle.
Because of the high curiosity factor of the gag gift that brags being "100% made in the USA," the Hero Builders website Tuesday morning either returned pages with broken images or a white page that simply said in black letters "Service Unavailable," a notice typically found on websites that have exceeded their monthly bandwidth.

Let's not be so small minded and unfair on this thing. At the end of the day who can say we don't have a little bit of A. Weiner in us?

Great, a doll that will allow you to pull down its shorts but won't allow you to put it back in the box or take it back to the store. Just what we need.

Anatomically correct? The doll looks like Stallone 20 years ago, not scrawny little Wiener today:)

If Congressman Weiner does resign, perhaps Oscar Meyer could name him their spokesman...and then watch sales raise and things get hot!
Posted by: Robert Kanter | June 14, 2011 at 01:03 PM
It's a damned shame that this kind of garbage is now what carries the Made in the USA label and that in 10 years these things will be worthless and piling up in landfills.

My Boss, Mr. J. Short, is going through a divorce and his wife will be looking to remarry, maybe to the soon to be single Rep Weiner.
Making her, of course, Mrs. Short-Weiner!
LOL

I'd suggest paying the extra $10 for the full monty, but that's what rehab is for. Follow my progress at http://twitter.com/#!/RehabWeiner

Gee, if you have $39.+ to waste on something like this, I know of several towns recently devastated by tornados that make use of the same amount in donation... Maybe Joplin?

This type of bullying has gone too far.

This is the representation that we as Americans want in public office? He lied, commited adultery, and even if he did not use federal equipment....ie cell phone, computer he used our time we are paying him for. Then we actually wander what is wrong with kids today? He also said he takes full responsibility...but he does not, if any other American had done something like this part of that responsibility would be losing our jobs. Why does he still have his? Part of taking responsibility is paying all the consequences not just the ones you choose.

I want the larry craig doll complete with bathroom stall
Posted by: true blue | June 14, 2011 at 05:30 PM
What is wrong with this country? Why are we immortalizing idiots with "anatomically correct" dolls? That's sick. Weiner should resign, no ifs ands or buts. He is a disgrace. The fact that some company is cashing in on his obvious sickness just points out that they are sicker than he is.

I've heard of teens getting charged for this same thing and having to register as sexual offenders. I wonder if this congressman will have to do the same?
Posted by: BL | June 14, 2011 at 06:55 PM
This is getting better and better. LOL !!!!!!!!! The PERVERT in Congress just keeps getting trashed and TRASHED. And, most DESERVEDLY SO !!!!!!!!!! I hope a MILLION dolls sell !!!!! And I'm still waiting to hear the "Weiner JOKES". I'm sure there are some HILLARIOUS ones floating around out there. And the LOW LIFES continued REFUSAL to resign is farther evidence of his unbelievable ARROGANCE.

Exactly what mine does this 17 yr. old "miner" work at?

I'll betcha Weiner wished he had not sent his picture and OSCAR WEINER AWARD WINNING PRIVATE PART to anyone now.
Do you think everyone will be singing I wished I was an OSCAR M--- Weiner and everyone would be in love with me !

People actually pay good money for this crap? Wow. Will wonders never cease.....
Posted by: Sherri | June 14, 2011 at 07:22 PM
Boy they are really taking this manufactured distraction to the extreme.
Puzzles me as to why people are still so wrapped up in this non event!
Posted by: farfel | June 14, 2011 at 07:46 PM
This is about as "stupid" as stupid can get. Anyone that would buy these things has got to have a very elementary, dillusional mind. The company/s mfg.,marketing, selloing these are just as childish. Trying to capitalize on anything they can to make a few bucks. I hope there might be some big law suits coming from this.

I think that most normal adults feel, why would you give someone so much publicity by making a doll in a image of a peverted men such as Weiner and anyone purchase it is just as sick.

HAHA the doll, so funny. I really cant believe with wars going on, our economy in the crapper, the federal budget wants to add several trillion to the debt we already cant afford to pay, banks not giving loans, businesses moving over seas taking our jobs away to get away from high taxes and govt regulation........ added all together, and 90% of news coverage is a baby killer crazy mom, and some guy who was sexting other women. really? Has America completely gone crazy? I turn on the news and feel like Im watching a soap opera, not the news. No body cares if America goes bankrupt, as long as we know about weiners weiner we are happy.

I had to add, i see people saying pervert, disgusting, etc. in comments below. EVERY politician has affairs, every one looks at porn. The question is if they get caught! When they get caught, then its a big deal. Politicians have been having affairs since the beginning of the world. Remember the millions we spent on Clinton trial? But when it was a Kennedy we idolized Monroe. My how times have changed. We care more about their personal private after hours life than we do how good a job they do. Any news media more worried about their personal life than the job they do is not really journalism. Its simply spreading drama for the sake of entertainment. There is nothing news worthy about a grown mans sex life. Get a life people. His personal life is NONE OF OUR BUSINESS and between him and his wife.

"People are SO mean these days! He is a man and had some fun. SO what?????"
Is that what you call it Wendy? Fun? Govt. time, govt. gym and most likely govt. cell phone.
Sorry, not what tax dollars are used for.

Kudos to the company that make these dolls! Bet you're laughing all the way to the bank.
Posted by: Kev | June 15, 2011 at 09:38 AM
Well, despite what some in office might claim, our economy must be doing alright if enough people out there have $39.99 to waste on a effigy of a meaningless bore, like Weiner! I'm not sure who is worse the man or the people wasting money on a DOLL with a penis...we must do better.
Posted by: Tray | June 15, 2011 at 09:52 AM
Did you know that it was rumored that Benjamin Franklin fathered 10 illegitimate children? I don't recall if any political party called for his resignation. I wonder if there is an anatomically correct doll of him?
Posted by: Jason Wayne | June 15, 2011 at 10:51 AM
What is this nation coming to? Are there not more meaningful and pressing concerns in which we should lend our time and attention?

Great! A democrat finally responsible for creating jobs!
Posted by: Joe | June 15, 2011 at 02:03 PM
Weiner action figure in stores now!
A newer version will even say your favorite Weiner catch phrases:
Old favorites like:
"Come on - wanna touch it?"
"Look at my pecs. Do my pecs make you horny?"
"Respect my package!"
"So do you come in this chat room often...."
It even comes with a mini fake camera and gym mirror.

Once again H.L.Mencken proves prophetic: "No one ever went broke underestimating the taste or intelligence of the American people." It will only be lifelike if you can wind it up and he sticks his head up his butt.
