Definitely. And the fact that they (Marvel, not the kids... then again, it'd be bad for the kids too) are making money out of it is particularly worthy of the "WTF?" face I made when I saw that picture.

Ideally there's nothing wrong with it, because the age-group that is going to want a Wolverine blow-up doll raft isn't going to have any idea how happy they're making Wolverine every time they go swimming.
My issue is that it's so obvious that as F-Bomb said, at least 100 people must have seen it as we see it, which means they let it through anyway.
Again that isn't much of a problem, it ends up being a bit of a joke between parents and the creators of the doll raft.
My problem is I don't feel like having toy manufacturers tell me dirty jokes through my kids. Of course I don't have kids, so maybe parents get a kick of stuff like that, but I think I'd rather the toy manufacturers spent their time trying to think about what kid's enjoy rather than deliberately slacking off on a piece of plastic because it's funny.
Toys suck! Especially lately. I look through toy aisles and I feel sorry for kids today. So I'd rather the manufacturers were thinking more about what kids enjoy instead of giggling about little Tommy's first prison adventure with Uncle Logan.
It doesn't really bother me, I just thought if there was a problem with that picture, that was it.

Yeah... my wife blowing a feral Canadian midget isn't much of a fantasy for me.
