Most parents who encourage their boys to play with dolls, wouldn't buy their boys a G.I. Joe, because he's a gun owner.

Buy them for your daughters--so Barbie doesn't have to date that wimp, Ken.

40 years ago this "man" would have been dismissed as a commie and a pansy, and rightfully so. I often wonder what fantasy world this type of person and his ilk live in. As they say, "Ignorance is bliss"! JIM

My Barbie really had a thing for G.I. Joe. Ken was just to effeminate. :-)

You gave me the first laugh of the morning! As I was reading the article, I thought that a GI Joe would make a good gift for my 3.5 year old daughter for Christmas--he can keep away that punk Ken from my daughter's Barbie doll house!

BTW, happy birthday to my husband who is celebrating his last year as a 20something!

What a great idea! My daughter took one look at her Ken doll, decapitated him, and threw him in her toy trash heap.
