Sexting scandal inspires Anthony Weiner doll

NEW YORK — An online action figure company has jumped on the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal bandwagon with a doll of the New York congressman in two versions: censored and uncensored.

HeroBuilders.com of Oxford, Conn., is offering the "standard" doll for $39.95 and the anatomically correct "for adults only" version for an extra $10.

Both are dressed in a gym shirt and shorts with a label that reads "Tweet This."

Weiner has acknowledged exchanging messages and photos that ranged from sexually suggestive to explicit with several women online.

Congress on Monday approved a two-week leave of absence for Weiner while he seeks treatment.

The action figure company also makes a plastic Sarah Palin, Barack and Michelle Obama and other talk-of-the-town figures.

Obama on Monday said he'd resign if he were in Weiner's shoes.

That doll looks nothing like Weiner. He is skinny, not very good looking and this makes him look like a hunk, and he is more like a scarecrow.

I think these guys stole the idea from the UK version of "The Office".In it,Gareth had a wierd doll that was endowed and made some nasty noises.Didn't look anything like Rep.Weiner.Of course,this one doesn't either.

Anatomically correct?

Does this mean the doll comes with one big fat nothing in between the ears?

Am I just spoiled by my man's manhood or was the picture of Mr. Weiner's man-panties and the bulge therein nothing to be proud of?! It looked like it had the diameter of a diet fudgesicle - you know . . . the kind that is half the diameter of a regular fudgesicle so they can package them as "100 calories each"? Hey-ooooooh!

being gay and having seen a few up close and personal, consider yourself gifted. I would put the Weiner in above average, especially considering its heritage.

No way - are we talking about the same pic? The one of Weiner Jr. veiled behind grey underwear? Or are there more explicit ones out there? I've only seen the underwear shot and *ahem* wasn't impressed. Do tell!!

Is the doll anatomically correct? Or is the Weiner doll junkless?

I don't know.... doesn't look much like Anthony, but then, the pic is from the waist up.

Before buying anything from this company I would suggest looking them up on Yahoo or Google.

If Prez Obama had done this, then the doll would be manufactured by HazBro.

We have been buying little girls in the world ENGORGED breast Barbie dolls for 52 years (one billion sold to date). About time men got their doll version of ENGORGED man junk so we can start selling this to all our little boys as the ideal.
