My wife and I have started getting barbies for my 2-year-old. The first two came with permanent swimsuits underneath. Then we got a Cinderella/Charming pair. Cinderella was going commando, but we had a good laugh at seeing that Prince Charming was sporting permanent bright red tighties underneath. So only one indecent barbie so far.
and this?: Hot-blooded, American boys who should not be put into tough, compromising spots every time they're rooting around the playroom on a quest to find that one LEGO piece to complete their set. so she thinks her boys are going to do what??? pull their puds to a barbie doll? hell even i wasnt that bad! :)
" barbie doll puts little boys in a tough comprimising spots?" are they different from the 60's???
Many years before my hormonal conversion, I and the never Mo boy next door used to set up our army men in our respective yards and have 'wars' which consisted of our interneighborhood bomber fleets flying between armies and bombing each other's army into oblivion.
The flight path of our bombers over no-man's-land often took us over the neutral Barbie Kingdom where his sister and the neighborhood girls were doing whatever is done with Barbies. We had little interest in this bizarre place with its silly customs and surely didn't care enough to waste any of our thermonuclear dirt clods on Barbieland.
One pilot enroute to his deadly mission of destruction did, however, observe a most curious sight in Barbieland. One of the Barbies had evidently been caught in a state of undress and her handler, in what appeared to be a state of extreme mortification, was holding her Barbie face-down against the sidewalk as she slid her all around in an attempt to avoid observation by the disinterested pilot. This had the effect of grinding Barbies tits completely off.
The war continued to its natural conclusion with few major casualties with the exception of the titless Barbie which I understand was never quite the same after that.
I see more and more women along the Wasatch Front that are getting surgical enhancements to look more like Barbie. I have no problem with (not my thing but whatever) and it appears like most here don't either.

And mormons wonder why everyone else thinks they are so holier-than-thou.
They were brutal to poor Barbie! Every home I ever saw that had boys and Barbies, the girls were busy putting the heads back on, often with older sisters and mom's help! Well, maybe they had an idea that worked,they were easier to dress without the heads! LOL
There were playsets like "secret of the mummy's tomb" ", stalking a white tiger, etc. They started getting silly towards the end of the full-size era, and the "intruders" were enemies from outer space, wearing chain mail tankinis.
My GI Joes spent most of their time at back at Headquarters in the showers.
What bothered me about this is that fact that the author felt the need to tell the world about her righteous decision. If you don't want Barbies in the house, fine, don't have them. But don't announce it like it is the one and only correct decision.
Ah, when I was a little kid and we had Barbies, I remember one got left in the backyard and ended up getting mowed. Poor Barbie was an amputee after that, missing one boob and a section of thigh.
I probably made my little sister get stuck with that one.
Back in the 60's, when my sister and I were in elementary school, we horrified my mother one day when we were playing with our Barbies, Skippers, and Kens in the back yard... with everyone completely naked! I honestly can't remember why we did that, but my mom was truly horrified and made sure those dolls were clothed again as soon as possible. I'm sure she must have thought she had raised two little perverted monsters at that point!
Quote from comments: "I personally hate seeing a naked barbie or ken doll laying on the floor of my house. but don't feel like it is fair to allow my son to have his boy toys if i am not going to allow my little girl to have hers. so when the dolls are purchased they become mine long enough to color on a leotard, or boxers depending on the sex of the doll. now who cares if my 7 year old son and all his macho boy friends take off the doll clothes in a front to get sisters goat. barbie remains modest, and mom remains un-bugged that their is a naked toy lying on the floor."
HAHAHAHA! Oh my god! I swear mormons are the dumbest prudest people on the planet!
The very culture of keeping anything and everything that resembles or hints of sexuality out of view and out of the sheeps minds...which in turn fosters a culture of secrecy where men all over Utah are secretly surfing porn while their wives are at the grocery store or at YW meetings.
How rediculous can it get?? I mean...banning Barbie dolls because heavens to murgatroid, one of these good little mormon boys sees a plastic titty, thinks a bad thought...and then proceeds to rub one out.
