Star Tribune donates more free advertising to American Girl Stores

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

Three questions:

Does the Star Tribune really have to reprint the news release write an article every time a new American Girl Doll is shipped from China to the MOA?

Do I need to point out the ridiculousness of claiming that purchasing a $100 doll will help “reverse the consequences of too much time spent indoors . . . ?”

And who would send their daughter portaging in the Boundary Waters looking like this?
