I don't understand why you think this bitch has a right to parent me, but when folks get on there moral high horse it can be hard to see the ground. She, and her kind are the emotional ones who cloud the issues with "offence" and "horror" and "concern". get over yourselves! the problem is that there is no reasoning with unreasonable people. who the hell do you think she's protecting? there is no threat! she's just a bitchy house wife who has nothing better to do wile her husband is out banging his secretary \, than circulate internet potations and brag to her yuppy bitch friends how she saved the world as they clink glasses of white Zinfandel, and there kids get high on air duster in the next room.
P.S. I'm pretty sure spousal abuse, and violence against women has been generally frowned upon in this country for quite some time. So don't act like "The all knowing internet" and the chattering no-lifes thereupon were the first to suddenly address this "epidemic".
Snow: If you believe this is the all encompassing issue of our day and suck a damn threat to society I ask you: what the fuck have you done to fix it? other than "bringing awareness" and typing a bunch of rhetoric? you volunteer at battered women's shelters? you give cash to some organization that counsels wife beaters? have you ever even nutted up to someone yelling at there wife in public? No!?! didn't think so...

I've been at my TRU, and apparently you aren't reading what I'm saying. (And if you read the story above I related, you should know I have a lot to say on that topic...)

My local TRU's have the adult collectibles mixed into the kid-centric lines. That's my complaint. If a kid wants a sonic or mario figure, they have to be in the same aisle as the mortal kombat, walking dead, and similar adult theme merchandise. My complaint isn't that they have an adult collector section at all, in fact I peruse it myself. My complaint is in the fact it's mixed in with the kid appeal lines that have a lower age demographic included.

A back of store or even avoidable aisle should be enough as long as it only contains adult collectibles in it and not other lines that have kid appeal. 13+ or 15+ should be fine. My personal complaint is only in the fact in some stores it contains items that younger would want to peruse and parents may not be aware of it. Employees often don't think twice about it when directing parents to that aisle and the parent would have no prior knowledge of it being there if it'd be a problem to them. There shouldn't be a need for an entirely behind closed doors aisle unless TRU wanted to carry more highly questionable merchandise as say a playboy bunnies figurine line that would need to be behind closed doors. So adding an additional fully blocked off aisle shouldn't be needed. All I'm suggesting is moving anything that's younger in the adult oriented aisle to a different aisle. Like moving the mario and sonic figures to be with the Pokemon ones instead.

Also I agree with en sabah about the "how would a kid even know" on the breaking bad figure part as opposed to the more obvious gore choices if the parent had such a complaint. But this being near Halloween, that parent may have thought it was a temporary thing and didn't even notice herself. Overall, Breaking Bad isn't quite the same thing as a "blood spattered coat" dexter figure on first glance without prior knowledge of the property.
