Aaron Paul: "Whats More Damaging? Breaking Bad or Barbie?"

Actor Aaron Paul took to twitter to air out his thoughts about the Breaking Bad toys being pulled out of Toys r Us stores.

Paul, tweeted Wait, so @ToysRUs pulled out all of the Breaking Bad action figures from their shelves and still sells Barbie? Hmm... I wonder what is more damaging?"

The retail giant decided to pull out the toys after being pressured by parents who were saying that the toys were a dangerous deviation from the stores family values. The dolls were spot on look a likes of the TV show characters and included a detachable bag of meth and cash, which caused the parents to issue complaints about the toys even though the toys were being sold in the Adult - action figure section.

A petition that was created for the removal of the toys garnered over 9,000 signatures. But, Paul made a legitimate argument by comparing the Breaking Bad action figures to Barbie. 
A recent study concluded that girls who played with a Barbie dressed as a doctor made the young girls think that they had fewer career choices than girls who played with a Mister Potato Head doll, the study was published in "The journal of sex roles"

Aaron is not the only Breaking Bad star who spoke about the conflict, lead actor, Bryan Cranston, took to twitter last week saying, "Toys R Us puts the Breaking Bad toys on an 'indefinite sabbatical.' Word on the street is that they were sent to Belize. Nicely played Florida Mom."

No word on how the Breaking Bad dolls affect life choices.
