Our "something for everyone" world
I have seen some pretty tawdry advertising campaigns in my time, but I must say this one takes the cake for insensitivity.*
What's next in dolls that are "important for girls" to play with? "Illiterate Barbie"? "Forced-Marriage Barbie"?

How about "Unfaithful Barbie".
Stones not included.
The next logical step is "Terrorist Barbie".
Glad my daughter never had a Barbie, she preferred trucks and tractors. And I have never bought a barbie for any g/daughter.

Heh..I got laabled an islamaphobe for even mentioning that I was boycotting Barbie this year due to burka Barbie. Stupid folks don't have a problem with a corperate entity prostituting them selves for $$$$$ and exposure.
P*ssed me right off: hot wheels and Barbie were huge on my list this year for the kids.
