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

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.

them bare midriffs are creating a stir in my uptight pants

Vetbridge, you realise- it is somebodies job to go around shaving the Barbie dolls before the get packaged and sold in stores...

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 !!!

... ah... Barbie only looks like she does because of all the plastic surgery!

No pics?!?!

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!

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..

Barbie is way too tight. Even with a half a tube of Astoglide.

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."

Barbie is a 'Ho? No Schite!

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"

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

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

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.

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?

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.

I used to make my Ken dolls have sex with each other.

If we get rid of barbie, who will teach our daughters that their future place is in the kitchen looking good for their men

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.

Sorry about that folks. Lingerie Barbie (maybe NSFW?)

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.

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?

Aaaaaahhh! Damn you Stop_pissing_in_my_Cherios!

That reminds me of Stripper Barbie!

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!!!

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.

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.

Must wash eyes...ahhhhhhhhhrrgggggh

This is stupid. Make barbie wear a burka, would that make parents happy?

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.

Girls, I just forgot my most fav posession: my cherry red cell cell phone in a taxi!

Gasp!

So buy yer kids the fat emme doll - they'll be scared to show the tummy!

fer real.
