Mom Says Garfield Toy Is Obscene

Tiffany Glad said she took her 3-year-old child to a Wendy's restaurant in South Florida and received a purple toy that told the story of the Garfield movie.

However, Glad said her niece noticed a scene of Garfield pointing a finger and said "Garfield was being bad."

When Glad looked closer at the doll, she was outraged.

"He has five fingers and there is a thumb on the side and another finger on the other side," Glad said. "It's clear as day he is giving you the middle finger."

Several parents said it appears Garfield is sticking up his index finger.

A Wendy's spokesman said, "It is Garfield's paw, people should not read anymore into it. Garfield is a cartoon cat that doesn't have fingers but paws."

Glad said since noticing the alleged obscene image, her daughter has begun to imitate it.

"Basically, we have a 3-year-old running around giving the middle finger," Glad said.
