Barbies. Would you allow them in your house?

[SoupDragon]

IMO, Barbies create an unrealistic body image that is simply unobtainable. I think they cause eating disorders and image problems in young girls and should be banned from sale completely before the female population is turned into unrealistic, plastic people capable only of being Fairytopia Princesses, vets to cute fluffy animals and beards to clearly gay men like Ken.

They should all be rounded up and shot with a toy gun or decapitated with a stuffed axe.

And don't get me started on fairy wnads which hurt a lot if you get whacked on the head with one and create an unrealistic dependance on magic.

absolutely

there was a sporty one too but can't remember the others..maybe they were civil engineers or something unmemorable!

Just to capture the zeitgeist they should market Barbie Makeover, where she comes with a peel off face with an even blander one underneath. (Alla Steve Austin dolls, remember??)

I am sorry to say but my 6yr old has at least 30 barbies,and lots of trains,cars pet shop, hairdressers,she never takes the clothes off as they are always her children in class.She was given many of these dolls by my nieces who had grown out of them,then when they have a party at least 3 friends mums will buy barbies hence so many.

you do realise that there is a limit to 30 kids in a class now!

Shame on you.
