Then they had better outlaw this too.

How about a 'Barbie' with some other, less attractive face?

From the way these political jackasses are acting, you'd never know that we are in the middle of the "worst economic crisis since the Great Depression."

All this jackass can think about is Barbie? What a pinhead. The boy needs to get a life.

We already have airheads who are “beautiful”: they’re called celebrities.

It doesn’t have a brain, so it can’t have intelligence.
Makes you wonder what kind of ..ahemmm ...dolls
Jeff has in his closet that he thinks have intelligence and beauty.

Lol! If you didn't click on it, how do you know it was a good thing not to? The only problem with it is it's a slow download for dial-ups.

When Barbie becomes outlawed, only outlaws will have Barbies.

I for one, have welcomed our Barbie overlords.

Cause my HT trap radar was going bonkers so I hovered over the link and saw evil at work.
