| Posted: May 16, 2008 3:28 AM | | | | Quoting Dr. Killpatient: Quote: I forget the country but it was in the news recently that Barbie was banned for being a bad influence. Googling "barbie banned" gives as first hit: Montpelier in Vermont, USA. It's a Salon article from 1997, though - so I don't know if it still applies. The "recent news" probably refers to Iran, although it is hardly news, as the Google search also proves. | | | Matthias | | | Last edited: May 16, 2008 3:29 AM by goodguy |

but even before I saw Dr. Killpatients post I was going to respond that barbie probably 'encourages' anorexia or something because of the shape of the doll
