But how do you really feel, Aaron Paul?
The former "Breaking Bad" co-star has been tweeting up a storm about the decision by mega-retailer Toys 'R' Us to pull "Breaking Bad" figures from store shelves. And he's making some pretty salient points. The company's move was prompted by a petition started by a mother in Florida who wrote, "Their decision to sell a 'Breaking Bad' doll, complete with a detachable sack of cash and a bag of meth, alongside children's toys is a dangerous deviation from their family friendly values."
Wait, so @ToysRUs pulled all of the Breaking Bad figures from their shelves and still sells Barbie? Hmmmm...I wonder what is more damaging?

And what about all of the violent video games you sell @ToysRUs ? Do you still sell those? Florida mom really messed it up for everyone.
- Aaron Paul (@aaronpaul_8) October 23, 2014 Paul, whose wife Lauren Parsekian is the co-founder of the anti-female bullying organization Kind Campaign, questioned why a store that sells Barbie and violent video games would draw the line at "Breaking Bad." For example, the store sells a figure of Ash from the "Evil Dead" movies; this figure, technically from the second "Evil Dead," is holding a shotgun in one hand and has a chainsaw in place of his right hand, because he'd been forced to saw it off when it became possessed by an evil spirit and tried to kill him.
Look, we're just saying. Pinkman's got a point.
