Iran: Barbie is Evil

[Thebazile78]

From the AP:

Iran takes new shot at Barbie, calling US doll "destructive" (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080428/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iran_barbie_dolls;_ylt=AixC7_7dCwtPB.wGopyeE.RK2oc A)

Authorities launched a campaign of confiscating Barbies from toy shops in 2002, denouncing the un-Islamic sensibilities of the iconic American doll. But the campaign was eventually dropped.

Also in 2002, Iran introduced its own competing dolls — the twins Dara and Sara — who were designed to promote traditional values with their modest clothing and pro-family stories. But the dolls proved unable to stem the Barbie tide.

Nothing can stop the Barbie juggernaut ... AAAAAAAAAARRRGH!

I was stunned. Such mothers don't live in my town. In my town Barbie is banned, reviled as the ultimate symbol of two evils -- commercialism and sexism. Plus she's plastic.

Send them Ken instead.

When Barbie's husband G.I. Joe hears about this then Iran will really be pissed

Barbie was first introduced to the world at the 1959 American Toy Fair in New York City sporting a ponytail and a black-and-white striped swimsuit. If she were a real person, the original Barbie doll's measurements would have been an incredible 39-18-33. In response to criticism that these measurements might create unrealistic expections for young girls to live up to, Mattel has since adjusted the chest measurement down and the waist measurement up.



Despite the impact it may or may not have had on my self esteem, I had about 50 Barbie's back in the day. Not to mention the Dream Home, Corvette, Hot Tub, and all of the outfits my spoiled little heart could desire!

I think REAL women starving themselves to be a size 0 is far more detrimental to young women's self-esteem and body image than a doll. But I guess that's just me.

Besides, Barbie did shit with her life. Like, be a pediatrician. And an astronaut. And an independently wealthy young heiress. Little girls need ambition, don't they?!

[TheMojoPin]

That said, they're HUGE fans of Dr. Colossus.

Nope.

Barbie's head-to-body ratio is almost as disturbing as Earl's.

Almost.
