Is this an awful new children's toy, or an important teaching tool for young girls?

The video is a YouTube commercial for Berjuan Toys' Bebe Gloton, "The World's First Breastfeeding Baby". The doll is a hit in Europe, and on track for retail sale in the US soon. The video is a bit graphic, and possibly not suitable for work.

Cars 108's Rod and Erin discussed the toy a few months ago when US distribution was first announced, and listener reactions were polarized. Some were appalled, others said it was no big deal. The word "bizarre" was used a few times.

Personally, (and I realize that a man's perspective is probably irrelevant here) I think this goes too far! It glorifies the notion of "kids as mothers" and is one more thing moving children toward growing up too fast. You're welcome to agree, or disagree with me.
