Mattel to sue over lesbian Barbie show
Toy manufacturer Mattel is reportedly threatening to sue a Brazilian artist for portraying Barbie as a lesbian.
Karin Schwarz's exhibition features pictures of Barbie in compromising situations, reports the Jornal de Sao Paulo newspaper.
Mattel has given the artist 24 hours to close down the exhibiton or they say they will take legal action.
But Ms Schwarz says she will not back down: "Barbie is exploited by Mattel. She wears a bikini, she shows off her belly, has big breasts, and even has a boyfriend," she said.
The exhibition, entitled Amazing Girls, is on show at a bar in the city of Curitiba.
A Mattel spokesperson 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!"

It's not surprising as Ken wasn't carrying the outdoor plumbing (this was what the girls claimed, so I'll have to take their word for it).

And as it turns out, was the major cause of hairy palms and thick glasses for millions of American males from the 60's to today.

Just wait until Mattel finds out Ken and GI Joe are involved in a "Don't ask, don't tell" relationship.

Barbie gets a poop-scoop
Toy manufacturers have created a new pet for Barbie - a dog which does toy poos.
The £11.99 ($ 23.00) dog, called Tanner, is fed brown plastic “biscuits” which it then discharges from its backside.
Mattel has armed Barbie with a magnetic pooper-scoop and dustbin to clean up the mess, says the Sun.

"The age choices were 4 to 8 but children "are given three options for their choice of gender": I am a Boy, I am a Girl and I Don't Know."
I wonder how many kids say "I don't know"...
