Tickle Me Tony
I'm having a little trouble figuring out whether or not this article is serious.

I don't know what they expected, exactly, but the doll looks dorky. No wonder no-one wanted it.

It's the shorts, definitely.
I have a few questions too about the likeness.
Does Tony Blair really have jet black hair, or is it a dye job?
(c.f. German chancellor Schroeder)
And I seriously doubt the real Tony Blair's got "Kung-Fu Grip"...

That action-figure looks nothing like Tony Blair. I thought it was a svelte Richard Nixon at first.

1) Does the doll actually ship with a tutu, or is it just the right size to wear Barbie clothes?
2) Since when do we have "strict guidelines" on how the President is portrayed? What's the White House
going to do if these guidelines are violated, invite over some EU officials to frown sternly at the toy factory?
