NOTE: The picture below is not the original. Somehow, many of my images on this site were corrupted (one of the reasons a switched to the new site and format). The original was a Barbie in a very low cut evening gown. Fortunately, I didn’t have to look far to reproduce a suitable image. I simply clicked on a major retailer website and selected four images. You see that though the image is not quite the same, the message and the insinuations about sexuality remain.
This is a picture from the cell phone of one of my wife’s friends. Believe it or not this was a Barbie (or Barbie like doll, I don’t want to step on any name brands) that was being sold in the toy section of the store. Notice the low cut top and the obviously, surgically enhanced…um…cleavage.
If a picture says a thousand words, just how much is this doll saying to our children, especially our little girls?
