Peteena

Mattel's been doing a lot of apologizing of late, but that's not the only company that owes us an explanation.

In an apparently acid-induced moment of inspiration during the 1960s, Hasbro inflicted upon the youth of America a half-woman, half-dog toy figure named Peteena. An understandably disturbed public failed to buy into the concept, and Peteena was quickly removed from the shelves. According to Peteena's website, to this day the company refuses to acknowledge their role in the debacle.

Thanks for the heads up, Brian.
