WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

Hasbro says it is pulling a Trolls doll from store shelves after a petition with over 150,000 signatures accused the toymaker of promoting child abuse by placing a button on the doll's “private area under her skirt.” The “DreamWorks Trolls World Tour Giggle and Sing Poppy” has a button on her stomach that when pressed will prompt the doll to sing and say phrases like, "How about a hug?” But many people have a problem with a second button that's placed on her bottom under her skirt that when pressed will cause the doll to make sounds such as "Whee!" and "Oh!" as one Twitter video with over 500,000 views shows. Hasbro spokeswoman Julie Duffy told CNN in a statement that "this feature was designed to react when the doll was seated, but we recognize the placement of the sensor may be perceived as inappropriate."
