Well, Florida mom Susan Schrivjer may have gotten her way and convinced Toys R’ Us to yoink a line of Breaking Bad action figures from its shelves, but that doesn’t mean Bryan Cranston ain’t getting the final word on the matter. Cranston previously tweeted “‘Florida mom petitions against Toys ‘R Us over Breaking Bad action figures.’ I’m so mad, I’m burning my Florida Mom action figure in protest” when the news first broke, and now he’s back to concede defeat with a nice little Breaking Bad callback thrown in.
Toys R Us puts Breaking Bad toys on 'indefinite sabbatical.' Word on the street is that they were sent to Belize. Nicely played Florida Mom.

God, that’s great, even if it is a little infuriating to remember that one of the most decorated dramatic actors of this generation also happens to be one of the funniest. STOP HOARDING THE TALENT, CRANSTON.
But anyway, for those of you keeping score, this means that Walter White somehow managed to vanquish a psychotic meth dealer, a calculating meth kingpin, a Mexican drug cartel, a violent Nazi prison gang, and Ted, but was somehow brought down by an enthusiastic puritanical mother from Fort Myers. The mongoose to his snake, if you will. If only someone had told Lydia. She could’ve found a dozen of them at Whole Foods.
