I think the cabbage patch stuff is a lot of nonsense but I also
think it is fairly harmless.  I think some people went a little overboard
though.  I heard that some radio station (as a joke) announced that an
airplane would drop the dolls into some stadium and that everyone should
go there and hold their credit cards up to the plane which will photograph
the cards for billing purposes. Wouldn't you know it, people actually stood
out there waiting for the damn plane!!  It is interesting to see that
dolls can fall into the same catagory as mercedes.  The higher
the price, the higher the demand.
