A fun new study by leading British academics has revealed that a large number of little girls who receive Barbie Dolls as a gift end up badly mutilating them! When the kids were asked the reasons why they wrecked their Barbie Dolls so thoroughly, the kids said the dolls made them feel strong impulses of, "rejection, hatred and violence."
So, although this information is all well known, there were still 94 million Barbie Dolls sold last year, and Mattel is expecting about the same amount to sell this fiscal year. So, Barbie has proven yet again that being hot will get you a lot in this world… but it may lead to getting your head ripped off by evil, cackling little girls!!! Sounds hot to me…
By the way, thanks for the link. I'll return the favor!
