Breaking Bad Star Sees Some Hypocrisy in Toys R Us Decision

Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul reacted today to Toys R Us pulling toys based on the show by pointing out what he thinks is hypocrisy on their part.

One Florida mom complained about the toys and said the retail giant shouldn’t be selling them. And only days later, Toys R Us decided to pull them entirely.

This was Paul’s reaction:

Wait, so @ToysRUs pulled all of the Breaking Bad figures from their shelves and still sells Barbie? Hmmmm…I wonder what is more damaging?

“@BarackObama: Wait, are you serious about the whole @ToysRUs thing?!?” Yes I am Mr. President. Yes I am.

And what about all of the violent video games you sell @ToysRUs ? Do you still sell those? Florida mom really messed it up for everyone.

And he also retweeted this comment:

@aaronpaul_8 @BarackObama @ToysRUs you can still buy toy guns, bloody knives & axes & mature vid games. But @BreakingBad_AMC is the problem?
