    For the record, I would be pissed if someone started selling a Bratz-knockoff muskrat named “Hudson Hongo.”

      She’s really pissed because part of the toy’s backstory is a tale of being medically removed from Richard Gere’s ass.

    Is it just me, or does that cartoon hamster bear absolutely no physical resemblance at all whatsoever to whats-her-name?

      I kept trying to see if there were elements of the design that could be parodying her appearance in some way but I honestly don’t see anything. Even the hairstyle isn’t even the same, and it’s fairly common for cartoon or parody animals to have human-like hairstyles (see also: Donald Trump).

      The only weird part about it for me is that they named the toy rat “Harris Faulkner”, which is as improbable a name for a rat as it is for a human being. Is it a coincidence? Are we meant to believe that two separate groups of people came up with this same idea independently?

      We might also ask if the Fox News version meets accepted safety standards, since watching Fox frequently makes me sick.

    No one has ever heard of you Ms. Faulkner. Get over yourself.

      Well, until today, I certainly never had heard of Harris Faulkner. Who names their kid “Harris” or is it simply a name she picked for her on screen persona?

      I’m pretty sure Bill Autoparts retired years ago.

      He never was much for frivolous litigation, either.

    Pitch meeting-

    Toy designer: You know who the kids love these days? That random person who is on Fox News that no one has ever heard of.

    Hasbro Executive: That’s right. Why my grandkids can’t stop talking about her. Get a design on my desk by morning, we can’t lose any time. This random woman is the talk of the town. What’s her name again?

      the other option is

      A: Fuck we need a name. But it can’t be like Johnny or Susie and we want to steer clear of ethnic names like Ling Po or Marisol.

      B: *reading newspaper* Hrm. Something happened in Harris County.

      A: THAT’S IT!!!! Good job!! BTW, aren’t your kids starting college?

      B: Yeah, Artichoke is going to start his third year of premed and Ottoman is a creative writing sophmore. We just had to get the collected works of Faulkner..

      A: THAT’S IT!!!! Break out the scotch, I think it’s time for an extended lunch break!!!!

    In fairness, “Harris Faulkner” is hardly a common name, and any patent lawyer worth his salt should have googled it - surely Hasbro has them on staff. That said, now I’ve heard of Harris Faulkner, so win-win, lady.

      Hasbro can be extremely cheap and lazy.

      Notice how only part of the helmet is painted. The entire helmet is supposed to be black like on the box. These unfinished heads were even at press events to hype the product line. When asked about the problem, the blame was placed on the Chinese manufacturers. Instead of fixing the problem, Hasbro decided to just ship them out to stores as is.

      Yep, she should be glad her name is being associated with a toy. Oh well.

    Is this another case of tragic body dysmorphia? I mean, okay, the name is a coincidence of sorts, but does this woman think she looks—for realsies—like that neonatal-eyed hamster?

        “Faulkner is extremely distressed that her name has been wrongly associated with a plastic toy that is a known choking hazard that risks harming small children,”

        It’s obvious that the Fox News host prefers to have that effect on adults.
