Barbie : Public Enemy Number One ??


Yea ! A Barbie Doll That Look Like Marilyn Manson !!!
For over 50 years, the Barbie Doll has infuriated people who view it as sexist, and those who think that Barbie is too straight laced - and all the while, selling millions of dolls along the way.... Such is a middle of the road toy. Some view you as extreme, others as namby pamby...
From the kooky side of the right, is a bill submitted by State Delegate Jeff Eldridge (D) of West Virginia. What does Jeffy want to do to the doll? How about BANNING Barbie Dolls???!! yep. Ban them.... Why? The same old excuse - Barbie dolls put too much focus on women's aesthetics, and not enough on their intelligence. Blah, blah, blah.....
"I just hate the image that we give to our kids that if you're beautiful, you're beautiful and you don't have to be smart." Eldridge said. "I knew a lot of people were going to joke about it and poke fun at me. I couldn't get anyone to sign onto the bill, b ut I'm still going to introduce it." Yeah Jeff, have a good time talking over the laughter while you try to get this stupid bill passed - or any other bill you care about. You just became "The Barbie Doll Bill" guy, and every other legislator will beg you to NOT support any bill they have.
And how has Mattel, the maker of the Barbie Doll, decided to overcome their bad image? By introducing Tattoo Barbie. I shit you not.... A Barbie Doll that comes with a temporary tattoo kit. That should keep those people who accuse Barbie of not being cool at bay....
