Lesbian Barbie upsets Mattel |

Lesbian Barbie upsets Mattel 25-August-06 Tony Grew
The honour of a tiny 46-year-old plastic woman is at the centre of an argument between a Brazilian artist and a major toy manufacturer.
The pneumatic curves of the iconic Barbie doll have provided inspiration to photographer Karin Schwarz.
Her pictures of the blonde in compromising situations with other female models have upset Mattel, who are threatening legal action unless the images are removed from the Amazing Girls exhibition in the south-eastern city of Curitiba.
But Schwartz has a thing or two to say to Mattel about Barbie’s current treatment.
"Barbie is exploited by Mattel. She wears a bikini, she shows off her belly, has big breasts, and even has a boyfriend," she told the Jornal de Sao Paulo.
Barbie’s owners are sensitive to the implication that their chattel is not 100% heterosexual.
A company spokesman said: "Barbie is a very proper lady and she is not happy about being portraited as something that she isn't.
"We are going to sue and we hope that this teaches people a lesson. Also, Barbie is 46 years old, she should be respected."

Can a lesbian not be a "proper lady"? What a blatantly bigoted statement!

When I was a kid my Barbie dolls made out with each other. Thank goodness Mattel never found out about it or they would've sent someone over to confiscate them. Here's Karin Schwarz's website with some Barbie pics. http://www.artabus.com/karinschwarz/?pic=-1

6. My next-door neighbor had a collection of barbie-doll heads that he'd put in his ass... |
|
and then he'd smell them.
I don't think Matel intended them for that purpose, either.

5. How can Barbie be a lesbian when neither she nor Ken have sexual organs? |
|
Actually, now that I think of it, she doesn't even have a brain inside her plastic head.
OMG...
Baribe is a REPUBLICAN!

14. She was. Barbie was a German prostitute. |
|
Apparently a very poor prostitute without openings in her vagina, mouth or anus, and non-flexible fingers.
