Since a Florida mom successfully got Toys R Us to pull the Breaking Bad action figures from their stores after 8,000 signatures earlier this week, Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul has taken matter into his own hands. In the last 24 hours, he started his own petition to put them back in the store and has, no big deal, a cool 30,000 signatures already. Take that Florida lady!
Here's the petition to sign to keep the toys on the shelves! Why can you sell guns and not Walt and Jesse? YeahBitch https://t.co/8iEFsLBCIn

Dear @ToysRUs,
We have close to 30,000 signed on the petition, that is 3 times the amount that caused you to remove the toys.
Talk to me.

We covered the story in our latest episode of The Rehash on Wednesday after Bryan Cranston tweeted his response to the ridiculous woman.
"Florida mom petitions against Toys 'R Us over Breaking Bad action figures." I'm so mad, I'm burning my Florida Mom action figure in protest

And while we don't want to say we said it first because that's not the point of this story, we also called out Toys R Us for selling toys like the Barbie which Aaron Paul tweeted probably do more damage. We agree.
Wait, so @ToysRUs pulled all of the Breaking Bad figures from their shelves and still sells Barbie? Hmmmm...I wonder what is more damaging?

You don't want to know what we said about Disney's Ariel, not to mention the new use for LEGOs we came up, oh and of course what you're really teaching your kids if you buy them an Easy BAKE Oven. Wait, yes you do. Watch our show above or here. It'll make you feel better about all of this nonsense.
Your move Toys R Us. If 8,000 signatures was enough to remove the toys, will 30,000 be enough to bring them back?
