4:36Now Playing"Members of Chicago's Muslim community denounced a parody greeting card depicting a muslim "talking doll" as a toy suicide bomber.
WGN-TV reported on Sunday that the card, which features phrases like "Pull string for message, if you dare" and "She'll blow your brains out," was brought to the attention of the local chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) after a woman spotted it inside a stationary store. The doll featured on the card is a take-off of an actual toy, the "Aamina the Muslim Girl" doll."*
A novelty card company has made a card that depicts an actual doll for Muslim children as a suicide bomber, which has made Muslim groups irate. Is it offensive, or a poor attempt at humor? Cenk Uygur and Gina Grad (Pretty Good Podcast) break it down.
