Wonder if the crazy islamics are aware that originally Barbie was based on a prostitute?

When Mohammed married little Aisha, there were those who scolded him for allowing her to play with dolls because they were "graven images"---but he rebuked them, and his 9-yr-old wife was allowed to keep playing.

Here's the warning poster banning Barbie from the Saudi "Authority for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vices" web site (click on the sixth box down on the right to get five more pages of prohibited stuff).

So, what happens to the child who disrobes "Fulla"? Do they get the snot kicked out of them?They kill Fulla. It's her fault she got disrobed. She was tempting people by showing so much skin.
Notice anything wrong with these dolls? They look happy. That ain't right.

Fulla looks like she's wearing lipstick. Stone her.

Good Lord. How long do you think it took this person to create scenes and dialogues for Prozac Barbie? I hope s/he got his/her money's worth.

So, I also wonder what is she "Fulla"? Fulla fun? Fulla fleas? Fulla stupid cult ideas? Fulla rage over being peed on her whole life? Fulla the determination to get out of the cult, make something of her life, and raise her children in some normal culture?
I'm outta time.

Well,
it sold for $843 so I guess she came out OK :)
Personally,
I just LOVE the cellulite...how she did it, I don't know.

I really don't care who the doll is. We have our United States of America Barbie and that's ALL I care about. Those who dont' like Barbie should not buy her. Period. As for the other countries? Who cares what kind of dolls they have?

Maybe some Muslim girl is finally going to get to play with something other than the family's pet goat. The girls never got to play with the goats. They were reserved for dad while he is away jihading...or for the son to use on a lazy sunday afternoon...
