I have NEVER liked Barbie and would not purchase anything to do with Barbie for my daughters. I was RIGHT!
How about Butch Barbie???
There’s only one thing that leads me to believe this isn’t true....
Barbie isn’t a Lesbian.
Can’t wait until she’s Obama. Barbie Obama who throws like a girl and wears soccer mom jeans.
Can Wiccan Barby be far behind?
Really? You know Ken’s smooth down there, right?
Burka Barbie:
NOTHING that even smacks of Barbie!!
Barbie has always promoted a pop-culture image that is a distorted view of females.
It's the "in" thing now days to be bi so she'll just tell Ken she was trying to find herself and experimented. Maybe she kissed Midge and liked it.
"The Rev. Barbie...spends most of her time in the office of the Rev. Dena Cleaver-Bartholomew."
How long until she receives a transfer so she can do fag “marriages” since the evil voters won’t allow it in Kalifornia?
“Barbie isn’t a Lesbian.”
You need to qualify that - NOT YET!
Give them time ... Barbie will be a lesbian too!
Let me know when she becomes a mohel.
Great, now she can marry Midge and officiate over the ceremony herself.
distorted? flat stomach and a chest... on a woman?! omg!! where are the rolls of fat?
i guess if she looked more like jaba the hut you’d think she was more realistic (which, in America, you would be right)
If scaled into real life proportions, she would be 5 feet, 9 inches, (1.75 m) measuring 36-18-33. According to research by the University Central Hospital in Helsinki, Finland, she would lack the requisite 17 to 22 percent of body fat required to menstruate.

the fact that she would have 36-18-33 measurements is freakin people out?
considering 36-24-34 would be ideal to many people. 6” on the waist? that’s the big deal?
then again, in America, 36-42-42 (or worse) would probably be more normal these days.
my guess, fatties are upset. tough beans. get off yer ass, go on a diet, and get some daily exercise. stop bitchin about a doll.
I’ll stick up for Barbie a little.
When my daughter was little, we had the Nutcracker and Rapunzel and Swan Lake movies. They made good use of classical literature, music and ballet, and had wholesome moral messages about honesty, courage, perseverance, respect for parents.
Also, Barbie in regular form is a grown-up with a job and nice boyfriend. Do you realize how few toys there are for girls that actually mention how real people work and live? Many, many toys for girls are about fantasy characters or glamour. They don’t offer any view of a realistic future for a girl, where she can imagine what life will really be like when she grows up. Barbie does that. In the cesspool of decadent or overly saccharine offerings for kids, Barbie has become one of the good guys.
And hey, now, per the posted article, we know she’s a devout Christian. :)
(full disclosure: we do own a couple of shares of Mattel stock.)
