Dear Barbie, it’s over, from Ken.
Last Tuesday, the Greenpeace environmentalist organization staged a protest outside of Mattel Inc.’s head office in El Segundo, California near Los Angeles. Activists hung a giant poster with a picture of a sad Ken doll with the message: “Barbie, it’s over. I don’t date girls that are into deforestation.”
Although the California protest was expected to be much more powerful and theatrical, it did elscalate enough for firefighters to arrive and police officers to make 10 arrests. One of the people arrested was a woman by the name of Elise Nabors, who was dressed as Barbie, wearing a bright pink and blue Spandex and a blonde wig. She was driving a pink skip-loader a block away from the scene.
Since then, Greenpeace activists around the world have been protesting the beloved Barbie doll and her alleged deforestation. Greenpeace has also launched pages on Facebook and Twitter and the Greenpeace website now includes ways for people from any country to directly email Mattel’s CEOs.

she looks pretty hot i gotta say.
So they arrested all 10 of the people who showed up?
Good Lord. We have gone from being America, to some twisted dystopian science-fiction film, with the semi-robotic cop, and the bland-faced Soma-drugged plastic chick in a pink bulldoser.
It’s all right, Barbie, Ken’s a homosexual.
I take it that Ken has been unemployed for a while.
This is California...Ken ran off with Steve.
Another “caption this photo” contest in the making.
"NOT GUILTY"
Wow... Yes it does look like a real life Barbie.
Gack !! That’s a concentration camp survivor with a boob job, trowel-applied make-up, a spray-on tan, and a bad dye job. She may be a nice woman in real life, but she looks like an advertisement for STD’s.
oh my gawd michelle is hot. do you think she’ll go out with me if i tweet her pics of my crotch??
What is it they used to say about dolls ... something to dress, undress, and play around with? Oh my, that is probably one very high maintenance doll.
I hope my daughters don’t see that. They both will want a BarbCat.
That article was a major disappointment. Not enough pics of the women who were dressed as Barbies.
That picture is proof positive that there is a God!
