Update on my earlier post: Ty Inc has "retired" the Marvelous Malia and Sweet Sasha doll names that absolutely had nothing to do with the First Family, according to company spokespeople.
The maker of Beanie Babies will be renaming those dolls "Marvelous Mariah" and "Sweet Sydney" a few days after Michelle Obama issued a statement calling the dolls inappropriate.
Most of the people cashing in on the Obama inauguration won't get the same comeuppance, however, simply because their kitschy merchandise won't be as widely advertised.
