LONDON - Barbie, beware. The iconic plastic doll is often mutilated at the hands of young girls, according to research published Monday by British academics. "The girls we spoke to see Barbie torture as a legitimate play activity, and see the torture as a 'cool' activity," said Agnes Nairn, one of the University of Bath researchers. "The types of mutilation are varied and creative, and range from removing the hair to decapitation, burning, breaking and even microwaving."

Mattel U.K. said that despite the findings of "this very small group of children, we know that there are millions of girls in the U.K. and across the world that love and enjoy playing with Barbie and will continue to do so in the future."

One girl's Barbie is another girl's voodoo doll.

I accidently threw Ken into the windshield of Barbie's corvette. Left a lovely yellow streak of "hair" accross the front. Does that count as torture?

Torture! Where is Sen. McCain when you need him?

Barbies do not survive well with rocket motors taped to them, soaked in gasoline sitting in a Tonka truck.

Could this be Bush's fault?

I think so. When my daughters were young their Barbies were naked, had their hair cut off and were forced to live in a box under a bed.

Well, clearly we need some regulation here. This is just not acceptable. I think we're going to have to ban Barbie.

You know this from personal experience?

But I saw a thread here that John boy now says some torture is legitimate.

Will go back and try to find his reasoning!
