to think that these are inappropriate or am I just being a prude

Barbie her swimsuit disappears and becomes a bikini underwater..
I just don't see what is wrong with her just wearing a swimsuit.

I am proably just being a prude, they just remind me of dodgy pens where the ladies clothes come off or Mugs where the warm drink removes the clothes of the image.

cause if it was just barbie in her swimsuit there would be no marketing for her other than 'barbie in her swimsuit'
so it is 'barbie has a swimsuit that disappears' makes kids go 'woooooo, i want one, i want one'!

YANBU. sounds really tacky to me.

Don't think its inappropriate, think its a bit pointless and a total selling gimmick, but not rally inappropriate.

And Chaos.. well, its barbie. Of course it is tacky!

I just cant get those silly pens out of my mind when i see the ad..

Hideous things.

Gives me the eebiejeebies.

YANBU,

All barbies are dreadful.

I am surprised they haven't designed one who's nipples harden when she dives into the icy water.
