Do you think this is wrong ?!
Question: Do you think this is wrong !?
Maybe it is just me but before i was watching T!.V and i saw an advert for a barbie doll !
The doll had a low cut top showing off her breasts and a short skirt and high heels on !
She was stick thin !
also the dolls face was covered in makeup !
Is this just me or do you thing this is wrong too !?
I mean 2-6 year olds play with barbie dolls !
I think this is giving the wrong influence out to kids !
Anyone agree !?Www@Enter-QA@Com

Yea i agree!. I mean i watch a programme the other day and they did an experiment with some young girls and showed them one doll that was your average barbie and another showing a a more normal sized woman!.!.!.few sizes bigger than barbie, curvier hips but still slim!.!. and asked them which one they wanted to look like and everyone of those kids picked barbie they also said they thought if they looked like barbie people would like them more!. All these innocent looking dolls are displaying to little girls that you have to dress like a slut and have big boobs to be a successful and popular adult!. They should make dolls in all different sizes!.!.!.healthy sizes to display the diversity of beauty in the world!. Of course its not just a few dolls that have to change, its society as a whole- the media filters out perfect images everyday to women so that is way the majority of women feel they are not attractive enough and men are growing up expecting women to look like girls on TV or in magazines!. The lines are well and truly blurred in my opinion!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Barbie and I were born the same year (1959) and I played with my Barbies endlessly as a child!.!.!.I loved them!.!.!.!.it did NOT give me a "bad body image"!.!.!.ever!.!.!.look at how the original Barbie looked!.!.!.thin, bathing suit, LONG eyelashes and heavy eyeshadow and makeup!.!.!.!.But, she has been a staple in children's play for over 49 years now!.!.how many other dolls today can say the same!?
I think, we make too much of very mundane stuff these days!.!.!.like someone else here said, it just a doll!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Yes! Im a pre teen right now so im old enuf to know that this is wrong but when I was playing with barbie dolls, and those Bratz dolls, I thort it was really cool to wear my skirts really short and on TV programmes lyk that, they always have 'posses' and I do think its a real bad example for young kidsWww@Enter-QA@Com
Barbie dolls are based on a French cartoon character that was pretty open about being sexually active, anyway!.

The world is full of good and bad influences!. I think the trick is to balance all of that with some good influences in the home, with a smile!. They will rememberWww@Enter-QA@Com
Totally wrong,next they'll be changing Barbies,name to Paris and she'll come with a mix and match outfit(prison issue orange jumpsuit) ;o)Www@Enter-QA@Com
It might, it depends on how deep a child’s understanding and comprehension goes!. After all it's only a doll!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Yeah I think I agree with you not that I know much about barbies or anything!. But I don't generaly like girls who are obsessed with how they look!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Yes its a stupid ideal for girls to have!. Barbie has been proved to have impossible measurements - unachievable in real life!Www@Enter-QA@Com
