This September, Mattel plans to release Black Canary Barbie as part of its "Barbie Loves Pop Culture" series. The company says it's a tribute to the DC Comics character and comes dressed in the trademark black leather, fishnet tights, and black boots the character always wore in comic books. Some religious groups disagree, and say the doll is just too racy. Has Barbie finally gone too far? Or should groups back down and take the doll as Mattel says it's intended -- a tribute to popular culture?




Will you add Black Canary Barbie to your collection?

This is an attempt to find the humor in a hopeless situation and does not condone the behavior of these corrupted children!
Gangsta Barbie from Mottel. Don’t go here if you are easily offended!

If you laugh at this it doesn’t mean you condone the corruption of our youth with this sassy Barbie! Sometimes humor is the only way to deal with hard reality!

This - as well as other Barbies - are marketed to collectors - not nessesarly children. There are Barbies that cost upwards of $1000. - does that mean it's for a child to play with ? If you don't like it - don't buy it.

How about an Amy Winehouse Barbie? Sure it can sing, but try and keep it out of rehab!

The Britney Spears Barbie! Loses its hair and will drive with your kids on her lap!

Want me to go on, fellow Vikings?

I attended a comic book convention in Charlotte last month, where I saw a lovely young lady dressed as Black Canary. It was nothing shocking, and the kids there were only interested in the character, not the sexiness of the young woman. This is just much ado about nothing, and all it will do is drive the price up for the folks that collect things like this. You can sit in the mall and see worse than this walk by all day long.
By the way, Emily Byrd, you would make a great Black Canary, inspite of your protests. We could have ScooterMan, Black Canary, and Father Time. Now Cindy needs to find her alter-ego. Bye now!

All of this reminds me of a joke I heard not too long ago. A man had waited until Christmas Eve to go shopping for his daughter, and she insisted that she wanted a Barbie doll. The man went to Wal Mart and noticed that there were only two Barbie dolls left on the shelf. He asked a sales clerk about them. The clerk took one doll down and said, "This is Malibu Barbie. She comes with a beach ball, beach umbrella, two swimsuits and retails for $29.95." The man said, "Dang! That's a lot of money. What's the deal with the other one?" The sales clerk said, "This other Barbie is priced at $1.6 million." "You gotta be kidding--that much for a doll? Why is she so much more expensive than Malibu Barbie," asked the confused shopper. "Well," said the sales clerk, "this is divorced Barbie. She comes with Ken's house, Ken's money, Ken's kids..."

hahahahha....whew...thanks for making me laugh! Mayberry and flatch, you both are crazy! Thank goodness I had a son. All her ever wanted was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You remember, the turtles that skateboarded, surfed, had a pizza thrower and followed the guidance of a rat that talked. Wait...nm...that ain't much better than bitchbarbie. Ha!
