Yes I saw the commercial. Yeah I don't know what type of message dolls today are sending little girls. When I saw that commercial yes they dressed slutty but at least it's not as bad as Bratz.
Omg Fart Down My Butt!!!
He just means it as an insult, he's not trying to bash homosexuals.

Dont get my thread closed because you guys cant stop fighting.
And what? "Girls have been playing with dolls for ages, its fine"? Your insane. Barbie is the "image of perfection" for this nation, which is why millions of girls a day develop eating disorders and get boob implants and dont think their good enough because of these STUPID dolls everybody looks up too. And now many girls are going to want to be a "top teen model".......and you think this is OKAY? Your insane if you think dolls like this have no negative effect on young girls.
1. What's wrong with a teenager wanting to be model?
2. Take a look at what I said about pagents on the first page.
3. What about action figures that are all about action and violence?
4. Do you think being a model leads to something bad? Why?
1) Nothing, a person should want to be a model because its their dream, not because of some Barbie in fishnets.
Its pure and simple, Barbies should not be dressing and acting like that.....little girls look up to those dolls and the workers at Mattel(sp) know that, which is exactly why they make Barbies like they do. Because that type of crap sells.
Instead of making Barbies have an occupation as a teacher or a scientist or a doctor, they dress them up as hookers and make all the little girls want to be "top models". How can ANY good come from that?
You sound like an overweight person who blames McDonalds for their obesity. Mattel is not trying to tell people to become models, it's a toy line that teenage girls may find interesting. It's the girls' decision what they want to do, besides, what person changes their lifestyle because of a doll?
Well I doubt they have anything to gain from grils becoming models and they're a company and we all know big business is just for the green and not what people really want.
1. If you were in control of the toyline, what would you have them wear?
2. They already did scientist and doctor so...
Do you have any kids? Or siblings? My little sister is 10 years old, and she likes those stupid Bratz dolls (alot like Barbie) and now she wants my mom to buy her skirts and let her wear makeup..........yet it doesnt influence a childs behavior?
Little kids are like sponges, and they suck up what they see and hear....when they see a cool doll like Barbie, they want to be like her, its common sense. Maybe not for all girls, but most girls. And especially when they auctually see real life people on tv who look like her (example Paris Hilton).
If I were in control of a toyline, I would make them wear jeans DUH! and respectable clothing. But I doubt my toyline would have any success when those whore Barbies in fishnets are still on the market.
