Bashing Barbie

The TV was hard at it this morning, claiming that Barbie's really thin waistline, generous bust, and super long legs was setting a bad example to girls, leading to eating disorders and worse.  Perhaps.  Was I gonna bitch about Barbie, I'd bitch about the feet.  Barbie's won't stand up.  Which reduces their play value a lot.  Girls cannot stand Barbie up and pose her, and act out  adventures with them.  At our house, some 30 odd Barbies, all without a stitch of clothing on, spent their lives packed in a basket.  Occasionally they got pulled out and played with, but not much.
