Then again if they cease production take a look at what will happen to the price on E-Bay as they start to become scarce. :wink:

I've always hated them. They are evil.

Because Barbie is the ultimate in brilliant rolemodels for girls, obviously. With her physically impossible legs, and cripplingly improbable breasts, and awesome teenage motherhood. Yes, exactly what any girlchild needs as an example. I think I would rather have the independent girl who knows her own mind as an example than this vomit-inducing genitally impaired ludicrous plastic whore. Barbie has been Kens b***h since 1952. At least Bratz try to be their own woman.

Barbie is just another sad example of some form of 1950's perfect woman housekeeping stereotype. Welcome to the world of A la carte kitchens, where the b***h cooks, and knows her place.

Oh, can the neo-feminism! No, barbie isn't exactly ideal, but that doesn't make the li'l whore culture a preferable alternative. I've seen far too much little girl ass to think this "independent" crap is a good idea. No, half naked ten year old's walking about the street are not "empowered", far closer to ultra-jailbait - for the discerning paedophile!
It's not "independence", it's mimicry, and obscene for that age group.

Barbie wasn't invented until 1959.

Yeah some of them NEED to be banned if they're this kind of market is targeted at children. Just look at these baby bratz...I kid you not I've seen some of these in chilren aisles. I mean I thought it was just me. Even my niece who got one for her birthday asked why is it dressed like that? When a little kid asks that kind of question then you have to wonder....:o

I don't see anything wrong. Is it the mole, right? Damn puritans! I have a mole too, I think I look sexay with it :lol:


Thank you Mattel, now if you followed suit and stopped making your Barbie crap I'd be eternally grateful.

I'm glad they were banned, as those dolls are skanky and disgusting. I'm relieved that my niece won't know about them in a few years, since I decided that I would never buy those for her.

The one on the left looks like a 40 year old street walker. The one on the right looks like a pole dancer.
Not to mention that FELLATIO LUBRICANT!! on both of thier dirty little lips!
I bet there's something deviant about those little baby bottles too :twisted:

Yay! No more of those Slutz, I mean Bratz dolls. What parent would buy a doll like that for their daughter anyway? I kept waiting for the Pimp doll, pole dancing and STD clinic playsets. I hear that back in the day Barbie dressed a little bit trashy but I bet she never wore thongs or a G string. I don't like Barbie's figure but at least she dosen't dress like a prostitute or have those nasty pouty lips.

I completly agree. That and they are giving little(-ish) girls the wrong idea. It's bad enough to see the freshman girls at my school dressed like one of those dolls, let alone 10-year-olds.

...I think we should just burn all the freaking Bratz dolls :twisted: ...and the Barbies. :twisted:

Roughly my thoughts as well. Is there not a "pregnant teen" Barbie? What an awesome thing to promote....;
