Multiple factions gathered to protest the exhibition. A topless woman from the Femen protest group, who had "life in plastic is not fantastic" written across her bare chest, burned a Barbie doll tied to a cross. A pink-clad man wearing a blond wig had a sign that said "Do you like me now?" draped across his neck. Others held signs with phrases like "Dear Barbie - don't just bake cupcakes, eat them too!" and "I will free you from the horror house."

We were there a few weeks ago. My goofy daughter found it herself:

"There is a Princess Castle. We are going there?"

The place wasn't open yet but we are going soon. Glad we missed the pathetic Freaks. I am going to bring lots of cash and buy everything!

They recently opened one of these in Florida. It is for little kids to play, explore and use their imagination. They are not being taught to be like a toy doll. That comes from bad parenting and our famous Hollywood anything goes agenda. You pay a fee to get in the place/doll house. Protest the abortion clinics that do late term abortion killings if they want to make their lives useful.

Sort of ironic that a few idiots protest Barbie in a place where live sex shows and legal prostitutes abound.

As soon as I read the opening paragraph, I developed a hypothesis as to what most of the protesting wymyn would look like.

When I clicked on the link, my hypothesis was confirmed.

I’m not entirely convinced that one on the far right isn’t Harry Dean Stanton in a blonde wig, btw. I don’t trust that jawline...

Something tells me these yo-yos would prefer that former old gray wall in the middle of Berlin over the Barbie House

You will need A LOT of cash.

My little girl is into Barbies. Don’t want to know what she would do in a place like that.

The weird French gals would probably freak if they knew that she played with her Barbies as 1. Princesses 2. Mommies.

And God forbid Dad not realize which one is which.

What morons.

I have a feeling that these women were not little princesses when they were three years old.

My GD is a princess at two and will be until she decides otherwise.

Repeat this “ladies:” Barbie is a doll for little children.

It is not a role model and no little girl believes it is.

Actually Barbie was orignianally conceptualized as a German sex toy.

Many many little girls grow up thinking Barbie is the best physical role model there is...and are dissatisfied with the bodies they were given.

“Actually Barbie was orignianally conceptualized as a German sex toy.

She isn’t now and no three year old thinks this.

Many girls grow up dissatified with their bodies not because of Barbie but because of the sexualization in the media, music and entertainment industry.

That, plus the abject and utter neglect by parents to monitor and steer their girls to interests and activities other than narcissistic body image.

It’s a doll. It has accessories. It has a doll house and a car. It isn’t the bogie the unhappily frumpy and miserably unhappy women are protesting.

The most toxic toy out there now is the computer and internet.

FYI, my kids are all engineers and some are developers which goes beyond computer programming.

They will NOT allow their children to use the computer until they are much older. That goes for Ipads too.

The most toxic thing one can do is give a child access to computers instead of books.

My kids were not allowed to view anything I didn’t see first in reading and media.

It is the MEDIA and entertainment that is destroying children.
