Perhaps because you appear to be based outside the USA you don't know this, but "bubba" is a highly derogatory term for people of African descent.

BTW, I have no tolerance for violent acts -- cartoon or otherwise -- involving children, so good on Apple for rejecting this. :|
Thanks for your input Kalimba. Yes, I'm in Australia, and the thought had crossed my mind about it being offensive, but I couldn't find anything conclusive of this (only in my mind of Forrest Gump).

Would you have tolerance if these were animals of some kind rather than toys?
