BARBIE MUST DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because one she is the reason so many girls are anorxic, because they grow up playing with a plastic doll that is so perfect and thin that they think they have to be that way. When really no one is that perfect. SEcond girls need real role models not plastic dolls. Third Barbie is really really really scary looking.

*shrugs* I played with Barbies until I was fourteen...LOL... I would always get these really elaborate games going with my little sisters and we'd have these complex plots and stuff... it was really fun. I think I liked it because it was before I knew I wanted to be a writer and it was a good outlet for me in terms of liking to give characters personalities, etc.
But yeah, girls wanting to look like Barbies is a severe discrepancy in our culture today.

It's not the Barbies, it's society in general. It's the look on and definition of perfection. It's those people telling you that beauty is on the inside but also on the outside. It's not the Barbies, it's the people who make the Barbies.
Yea our society thinks that you must be perfect. Did you know that today the average size manchan is a size 4 while the average size woman is a size 12. Now what does that say about our society. The other day I went into wet seal and for ever 21 and I could not find anything that fit me. I needed an extra large but guess what? They did not carry an extra large.

You know what's worse? When you go to store and they have an XL, but it would only fit the likes of Mischa Barton. PS: you spelled mannequin wrong.
Psst, EBM: Barbie broke up with Ken. They were together for 40-something years and he never considered marraige. So she dumped him and is now Cali Barbie with her Aussie surfer cutie Blaine. I read it on MSN, so it must be true.
I never cared for either of them. I would poke Barbie's breasts and wrap my fingers around her waist (when I was young, mind you) and I thought she looked ridiculous. Her clothes had to be perfect -- or else. And Ken? When I was young, I wanted to see what was under his pants. So I took them off and I saw...
...tan underwear.
That ruined any sense of liking barbies whatsoever (though I like the old looking ones). However, I still played wit them and made them do (at the time anyway) evil things. Well... if evil things is doing the splits and turning Ken's face to the floor as I hurridly dressed Barbie. Like I said, I was young.
When I turned 11 I stopped playing with them forever. Now I write.

Haha... I did the same thing, Snoink. I went through a phase when I would turn all the male barbies upside down so that they couldn't "see" whenever I changed the female barbies' clothes...

heh...I used to take scissors and take off the barbies heads, fill them with some type of food and paste them back together to make em "eat" heh....
i must confess that I am one of those girls who shops in wet seal, hollister and the likes.... I fit into tiny clothes but am not the typical "attractive" girl... My waist and stomach are perfect, but I dont have that much of a figure...eh, who cares?

And your point is...
*Sits in corner, muttering* Ken...so perfect...Ken...*laughs manically*
TAN UNDERWEAR RAWKS!
Gotta a find a woman be good to me,
Who won't hide my liquor, try to serve me tea.
And I did have crazy plots where barbies would die.. Or go about the place naked and get chucked into jail cos they didnt have any clothes on.. I was YOUNG! (six or seven)
I asked santa for a Action man, because barbie broke up with ken, after him two timing her with Sandy..
Im going to go off and play with the barbies now..
I loved playing with barbies and when mum gave them to my sister I always bugged my sister to let me play with them.
But I hate barbie and ken now. I wish I could rip their heads off!!
I played with them till I was 9 or 10. Now it gets on my nerves how my sisters at age 9 and 12 play with them and are trying to make themselves as skinny as Barbie. I gave my collection of barbies to them. Collection had 100 dolls! Go me! Anywayz I agree that Barbie at sometimes can be evil. Ken and Barbie broke up? Good. LOL! When I was little I told my mom that I wanted to marry Ken and kill barbie. LOL

I played with Barbies, and nothing bad ever happened to me! Those Bratz dolls are probably worse.
I love Barbies.They were so fun to play with.
