Apparently, American Greetings made the boys at Penny Arcade take down one of their recent comics, due to copyright infringement or something along those lines. It was an amusing parody of those Strawberry Shortcake dolls, with a hint of American McGee (insane creator of American McGee's Alice, which was a twisted, yet fun, game). Personally, I think it's ridiculous. I mean, come on. It's a parody, and a funny one at that. It wasn't ruining the image of the doll (is it even being sold anymore) as most people who visit that site, bar the hopelessly twisted, would be buying any of those dolls. It's a video game comic/site, for crying out loud. Anyways, make your own mind up. You can't see the strip at their site any more so here it is for you. :)
American McGee + Strawberry Shortcake = Comedy
My sister had one of those dolls. Oddly, enough they did smell like strawberries. Also, after 10 years, they don't.
