Sugar Daddy Ken - what's in a name?

I'm glad I wasn't the only one with hesitations on the upcoming release Sugar Daddy Ken. According to this article from News.com.au (let's leave it to the Australians!):

And before anyone thinks the "Sugar Daddy" title refers to an older man with a younger lover, Mattel says that there's a much more innocent explanation.

"The little dog's name is actually Sugar," said the Mattel spokeswoman. "That's where the name comes from. He's Sugar's daddy, as a reference to the dog."

Yeah, right. Still, he's hot!
