A Florida mother has launched a petition against Toys R Us because the company is selling figurines associated with the drug-centric show "Breaking Bad." Susan Schrivjer, of Fort Myers, recently took to Change.org to voice her dismay over action figures of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman from AMC's meth-cooking series. One toy portrays Walter White as his kingpin alter-ego, Heisenberg, and comes complete with a hat, removable glasses, a sack of cash and a bag of blue crystals. In the petition, Schrivjer calls the toy a "dangerous deviation from their family friendly values." While the show may be compelling viewing for adults, its violent content and celebration of the drug trade make this collection unsuitable to be sold alongside Barbie dolls and Disney characters.
