(PR NEWSWIRE) Talking Ann Coulter Doll Top Seller Over Holiday Weekend;
Controversial Doll Causes Liberal Uproar
IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Political junkies shaking presents
under the Christmas tree this year beware! According to this weekend's sales
figures at Talking Presidents (www.talkingpresidents.com), conservative
political analyst Ann Coulter may be talking under the wrapping paper. The
Ann Coulter Action Figure was the most popular seller at Talking Presidents
over the holiday weekend, outselling Presidents Bush (father & son), President
Clinton, and Donald Rumsfeld.
Fans and foes of conservative political analyst Ann Coulter have made the
action figure an underground phenomenon by talking about the doll on the
Internet. Many love the doll and many more hate it. "Just type Ann Coulter
doll into any search engine and you'll see how much the liberals hate this
doll," said John Warnock, co-owner of Talking Presidents.
It is no surprise that liberals are in an uproar over the action figure.
Among the 14 phrases the doll speaks in Coulter's own voice are:
"Why not go to war just for oil, we need oil. What do Hollywood
celebrities imagine fuels their private jets?"
"Liberals hate America... Even Islamic terrorists don't hate America like
liberals do."
Within a week of the doll's release, TalkingPresidents.com made the
Democratic Underground's top 10 list of Conservative Idiots. "It was great to
make the same list as George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Arnold
Schwarzenegger," said Warnock, who was far from offended by the insult. "We
are proud to have her doll in our product line. Some people may not like it,
but plenty of people do."
Sales of the controversial doll have exceeded the company's expectations.
The Ann Coulter action figure is Talking Presidents' biggest seller this
season, with the Top Gun George W. Bush, dressed in a flight suit, and the
Talking George W. Bush action figure taking a close second and third. "We
expected the doll to be popular, but we didn't expect Ann to outsell everyone
else," said Warnock.
