But, but, why? Why would any toy manufacturer create that “toy”? Who or what is the intended market? I’d luv to see the marketing-research which predicted that “need”/customer base.
(No criticism intended; rather, wonderment.)

It is disturbing.

...and imagine what it would do to an adult’s reputation, particularly a man’s, to give such a “toy” as a gift to a child (?) (!)

Ronald the fry guy is a design done by artist Wizard Skull. Later a Japanese restaurant chain copied it with out consent They were sued and stopped using it. The original Ronald with pubic fries was NYC street art. Now it is a doll made in 2 sizes. limited to 200 each size. selling for $175. I wonder why Mcickey d's never went after Wizard skull for using Ronald?

Art, whether or not you agree that it is art, is pretty much immune to being sued.

I’m not sure Van Gogh would have approved.

Does that apply to toys? Mcickey D’s sells Ronald dolls. 99 percent of the people out there will recognize that as Ronald.

Just another example of our "Sick" anything goes and nothing is sacred society. Disgusting at all levels and reflects a very sick sense of humor/mind.

Of course it does. Anything that qualifies as "art" and being done by an "artist"; usually that involves making a buck occupationally - you named the artist Wizard Skull. If these were sold as art, then they are/were/is/can be/etc. Micky would have lost and looked stupid giving this publicity which would have raised the value of these. Nothing like notoriety to increase the value.

99% of people are only slightly sharper than a bag of wet mice.

I suspect that's what they said about all art and artists over all time until their work and they became famous years later.

Not everything is Dogs Playing Poker with Elvis on velvet.........and Look for a Long Time at What Pleases You......And Longer Still at what Pains You.....

Good and bad aren’t as easy to tell apart as you’d think. Mostly it’s a matter of where you look at them from.

Can't argue that it's all up to your view point and where you're coming from. So now we know.

Immersion (Piss Christ) is a 1987 photograph by the American artist and photographer Andres Serrano. It depicts a small plastic crucifix submerged in a small glass tank of the artist's urine. The piece was a winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art's "Awards in the Visual Arts" competition, which was sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, a United States Government agency that offers support and funding for artistic projects.

The work generated a large amount of controversy based on assertions that it was blasphemous. Serrano himself said of the controversy: "I had no idea Piss Christ would get the attention it did, since I meant neither blasphemy nor offense by it. I've been a Catholic all my life, so I am a follower of Christ.
