Yeah, it's sad alright. They don't want their kids exposed to nearly naked, busty, leggy blonde dolls wearing bikinis or mini skirts and lots of bling.

Under the circumstances I thought this following part was sadly ironic but still funny.

Children will have more alternatives to play with soon. Replicas of the downed U.S. drone that Iran has been flaunting on state television since December will reportedly be mass produced in a variety of colors.

Saudia Arabia has also banned Mattel's Barbies for wearing innappropriate clothes and being a symbol of the "shameful west."
Oh, snap!

Most of the barbie dolls that I have seen were naked. But the kids played with them anyway.

I'm nearly 65 and in all my years, I have enjoyed being exposed to nearly naked, leggy, and busty blondes ( or other hair color ) in bikinis or miniskirts. And the more exposure, the better.

I'm curious. How is this any different than the FCC regulation of the airwaves?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but we have "morality police" here too.

Maybe if they made Barbie dolls with some outfits including a matching suicide bomb vest ensemble,she would be the talk of the town, and there would be riots in the streets with folks trying to go inside and by one.

I bet if they would make a Ken with replaceable soft plastic neck that could be sawed off pretty easy with a harder plastic dagger included in the set, would be a big hit as well.

How about a board game with Barbie and Ken, down on their knees and their faces touching the board.
The object of the game is taking turns spinning them around until one player wins when their spin has their doll bowing directly toward Meccah.

They could also include on the board a spot where the spin stops,"Go Straight To Getmo",Once in they can't get out until they memorize one page out of the Koran which grants them the get out token known as the Obama Set The Murderous Terrorist Free token.

Also a spin stop spot where if a player lands on it,he must holler Allah Akbar within 5 seconds or lose his turn.

All around the board they could have certain stops where they can win a virgin. The first player to collect 10 virgins or have their spin stop on mecca, wins.

The prize will be a plastic model of the same 1985 burgundy beat up Toyota pickup truck with three terrorist riding in the back,that we have seen on the nightly news every night since we set foot in the middle east which is seeming like eons ago.GOODNIGHT FOLKS I"M OUTTA HERE lol eb
