found object: "li'l chesty"
in the brochure rack at the grocery store today:
He's always faithful... to the dream of being a Marine!
It's a big dream, but he's up to it: to someday join "The Few, The Proud, The Marines," just like his Dad and his Granddad before him. One look at this little "Devil Pup," and it's clear he's already got what it takes! He's hand-painted porcelain sculpted by artist Titus Tomescu, dressed in camouflage trousers and a USMC cover (cap). His sweatshirt features the "Semper Fi" motto and "Chesty." And his bulldog pup, "Li'l Chesty," has his name embroidered on his collar. Celebrate the proud legacy of the Marines for just $79.99 plus shipping and handling. Order today!

Comments
If my kids decide to be Marines, it will be because they made that decision on their own, without any cheap propaganda devices like this accursed doll, or weekly screenings of The Sands of Iwo Jima. Now, where did I put the baby's camoflauge training pants?

"Chesty." I thought "Chesty" was a stripper name.
I wonder if this doll has a companion: little girldreaming of being a stripper just like her mother and grandmother before her. FINE PRINT: This product not endorsed by Billy's Topless.
