My daughter had a Barbie doll at one time. The thing that shocked me was when she took off Barbie's clothes and I saw that she was shaved. Now what kinda message is that?

Yikes- as long as the Rosie doll doesn't expose her mid riff... or mid rift- or whatever- I'm just a stupid stupid illiterate man- heck I can't even spell illiterate!

Hooker Barbie!!!!!!!

I'm still waitng for the Barbie with piercings

 
WorldCitizen [TotalFark] 2002-11-27 12:28:57 PM  
Um, they can take off all of her clothes and have naked Barbie, so what the hell is offensive about seeing her belly? People are just freaks.

 
I_ate_Jared 2002-11-27 12:29:32 PM  
them bare midriffs are creating a stir in my uptight pants

 
Peruvian Fried Chicken 2002-11-27 12:29:34 PM  
Vetbridge, you realise- it is somebodies job to go around shaving the Barbie dolls before the get packaged and sold in stores...

 
please 2002-11-27 12:31:11 PM  
You mean your kids have been taking Barbie's clothes off? Sorry bub, but that's unlicensed entertainment. The toys are only to be played with as depicted in packaging and advertising. THE RIAA IS COMING FOR YOU.

Realy Now People Who Cares !!!

 
Peruvian Fried Chicken 2002-11-27 12:32:29 PM  
... ah... Barbie only looks like she does because of all the plastic surgery!

 
Dr Moron 2002-11-27 12:33:42 PM  
No pics?!?!

 
Tadpole [TotalFark] 2002-11-27 12:34:42 PM  
It's a toy that spends more than half its time naked in a storage box. Hype and "controversy" seems well timed for free advertisement. Happy Holiday Shopping!

 
poe01 2002-11-27 12:35:41 PM  
Am I wrong, or does Barbie not even have a navel? Because it has been my understanding that that is the point of the bare midriff..

 
I_Can't_Believe_It's_Not_Smegma 2002-11-27 12:35:41 PM  
Barbie is way too tight. Even with a half a tube of Astoglide.

 
steelwelder 2002-11-27 12:37:14 PM  
Farkin' fundies.

I can't wait for trailer trash Barbie. She comes with a baby on her hip, a cigarette hanging out of her mouth, bruises on her face, and says, "My daddy says I am the best kisser in the trailer park."

 
Aias 2002-11-27 12:37:15 PM  
Barbie is a 'Ho? No Schite!

 
Peruvian Fried Chicken 2002-11-27 12:38:01 PM  
Hey- they have an HIV muppet...

Maybe its time they release
"HIV Barbie"...
"Unprotected Sex Barbie" (featuring Ken with movable parts)
"Maniac- mass murderer Barbie"
"Pregnant Teenage Slut Barbie"
"Crack-Whore Barbie"
"Barbie On The Barbie" (that ones for the Aussies out there)
"Leprosy Barbie"
"Small Pox Barbie"

 
steelwelder 2002-11-27 12:38:26 PM  
How about bull dyke Barbie? A Ken doll dressed in leather who comes with his own Harley.

I have heard that divorced Barbi comes with all Ken's accessories...hehe

You left out the hit of 1999, Biker Dyker Barbie. Only sold in select locations, this genuine collectors items taught love, compassion and understanding of the gay community.

*Strap-on sold separately

 
naked_man 2002-11-27 12:43:20 PM  
I think they have the same outfit for Ken.


...Ken...ha...ha..ha..

If your name is Ken you're gay!

The Michael Jackson Barbie. Comes in off-white with 24 disposable noses

 
WorldCitizen [TotalFark] 2002-11-27 12:47:51 PM  
You mean your kids have been taking Barbie's clothes off?

My kids? Who the hell was talking about kids? I was talking about when my friends and I get together for a drunken Saturday night Barbie cirle j....

Hmmm, maybe I should just leave it at that.

 
capnKRUNCH 2002-11-27 12:48:59 PM  
that article couldve been a LOT shorter and more effective if they had included a picture... would it have been so hard to do that?

 
ny10709 2002-11-27 12:49:33 PM  
How about Tight Ass White People Barbie? She shuns anything fun, causes controversy because she can't deal with her own sexuality, carries the bible and has a short man haircut.

 
FifthColumn 2002-11-27 12:49:40 PM  
I used to make my Ken dolls have sex with each other.

 
depafeo 2002-11-27 12:51:55 PM  
If we get rid of barbie, who will teach our daughters that their future place is in the kitchen looking good for their men

 
Bonnika 2002-11-27 12:52:26 PM  
Here's a link to the Lingerie Barbie. I know its for collectors over 14, but really, that's just weird...

You know, there are so many things much more offensive about Barbie than any exposed midriff... such as the fact that she's an Aryan supermodel that creates a standard of beauty and lifestyle that's impossible to recreate.

That, and GI Joe would totally bang her in the ass.

 
Bonnika 2002-11-27 12:58:32 PM  
Sorry about that folks. Lingerie Barbie (maybe NSFW?)

 
Bonnika 2002-11-27 01:00:38 PM  
My sisters and I had a ton of Barbies growing up, and a couple of Ken dolls. However, we also had a few GI Joes. Guess who got left in the Barbie trunk face-down to rot while GI got the ladies? That's right. I always hated Ken and his fluffy attempt at hair.

I can't wait for trailer trash Barbie.


Your wait is over! You can buy one here. Here's what the thing looks like:

Net-Cam Barbie comes with her own Blog page.

 
exick [TotalFark] 2002-11-27 01:06:31 PM  
I think the scarier part about this whole thing is the fact that a 7 year old girl said that she wanted a Bratz doll (ugh) because Barbie (also ugh) isn't fun to play with anymore. What in the fark is the goddamn difference?

 
Longhorn 2002-11-27 01:06:37 PM  
Aaaaaahhh! Damn you Stop_pissing_in_my_Cherios!

 
texnomad 2002-11-27 01:11:34 PM  
That reminds me of Stripper Barbie!

 
luckycarbon 2002-11-27 01:12:57 PM  
You sick bastard Stop_pissing_in_my_Cherios!!

Don't give me that you warned us crap either because I was all prepared to quick close the browser if it was something gross right away and everything. Then I saw a chick, so I scrolled down...and....and....Stop_pissing_in_my_Cherios is the devil!!!

 
fuzzygirl18 2002-11-27 01:16:14 PM  
wow, people just need something to complain about, otherwise they don't know what to do. most of these parents let their kids dress like that, its disgusting to see a little preteen in a belly barring shirt. Barbie sure has changed since I played with them... I use to cut off her hair, and make her have sex with the other barbies, oh and sometimes they would date my stuft animals.

 
apteryx 2002-11-27 01:16:48 PM  
I once worked with an ex-mattel engineer. He said the rediculous proportions for Barbie are to make her look right with the original outfits. The clothes are scaled down to fit, but the cloth is still the same thickness. As a result, a pair of jeans is made from cloth that's 1/4" thick (to scale). Roll it over a few times for a waisteband, and you add a couple inches to her waist. Same deal for the neck.

 
naked_man 2002-11-27 01:18:22 PM  
Must wash eyes...ahhhhhhhhhrrgggggh

 
Kylie 2002-11-27 01:19:01 PM  
This is stupid. Make barbie wear a burka, would that make parents happy?

 
WickedWanda 2002-11-27 01:19:31 PM  
Barbie brings in $2 billion annually for Mattel. That's enough money to make sure the suits at Mattel are keeping the little ho' up-to-date.

I think bare midriffs are the best thing that ever happened to us.

Not that I can wear one, but I know the guys like 'em, and the girls I know that can still get away with it say it makes them feel sexy as hell to have about 4 inches of tummy skin showing.

 
flying squirrel 2002-11-27 01:30:53 PM  
Girls, I just forgot my most fav posession: my cherry red cell cell phone in a taxi!

Gasp!

 
Lomaran 2002-11-27 01:33:00 PM  
So buy yer kids the fat emme doll - they'll be scared to show the tummy!

Straight from barbie.com:

"
She's the hottest Harley-Davidson® Barbie® doll yet! And this time, Ken® doll is along for the ride too! Harley-Davidson Barbie doll #3 wears a very hip black leather-look jacket decorated with silvery studs, zipper trim, and working zipper with a Harley T-shirt underneath. She's ready to hit the road in her black leggings and biker boots accented with buckles. Harley Barbie #3 is absolutely gorgeous with long dark brown hair, brown eyes, and dark lipstick, and a red chiffon scarf tied at her neck to add a touch of sophistication. Her accessories include silvery hoop earrings, sunglasses, a biker helmet, and Harley logo hat and black faux leather satchel decorated with silvery studs and buckles. She'll definitely turn some heads at Bike Week!"

You don't want to see it.

Or maybe you do.
