“Dora The Explorer” Gets A Hot, Spicy Makeover

Were you under the impression that Dora, of “The Explorer” fame, just wasn’t sexy enough to capture children’s attention and imagination? You’re not alone, SexyTeen4Real. The character is getting a makeover to make her more hot tamale, less baby dyke with a backpack:

Nickelodeon, the children’s television network owned by Viacom, has been discussing a redesign of some Dora-themed toys and other merchandise that would make the character appear more feminine, say people familiar with the talks.

Feminine? What does that mean?

Do they want to put her in a dress? Do they want her sidekick to be a talking doll rather than some monkey on crack? Do they want to replace her face with a giant vagina that shoots out butterflies? Who knows. What we do know is that the idea that there is a “right way” to be a little girl is silly. Little girls can explore. They can have tea parties. They can run over Barbie dolls with toy dump trucks.

On the plus side, maybe now Dora and Rosita Fresita can go thong shopping together.
