Since "15 and over" labels are apparently not good enough for toys, a Florida mother is petiononing for a ban of Breaking Bad toys at Toys R Us. Susan Schrivjer of Ft. Meyers posted a Change.org petition under the alias Susan Myers asking for 5,000 signatures in order to remove the Breaking Bad doll collection both in stores and on the company's website. Her reasoning? Well, kids mimic action figures, and do you want your kid selling meth? OF COURSE NOT.
