FYI: and believe me i'm not making light of it i'm just illustrating how 
clever....

quentin clearly describes in the You Tube segment

Speak out against Quentin Tarantino's "Rape Doll"

Hollywood contributes to Sexual Assault Awareness Month: a major motion 
picture sinks lower than its box office sales with an action figure
(created by the same toy manufacturer of Harry Potter action figures) 
depicting a rapist.

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has been turned into a doll to accompany his 
appearance as Rapist Number One in Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse movie 
Planet Terror, by NECA Toys.

Mr. Tarantino has been proudly showing off the doll on talk shows such as 
The Jimmy Kimmel Show to gain some bad publicity and public outrage based on 
a failed movie.

 I urge you to write to NECA, The Weinstein Company (the film's distributor 
who are responsible for the publicity appearances) and the man himself: 
Rapist Number One.  If only he knew what "rapist number one" means to 
countless survivors.

Thank you H'wood land for proving that you not only condone rape, you 
endorse it.
