All this will do is create an underground market for Barbie dolls.

I mean, I think we should have a ban on bans... everything that's going on and this genius says "Let's ban Barbie dolls" -- these people really do have nothing to do.

I'll stop at that. oh, and make sure her tramp stamp and other tatoo's are adjusted for age as well
