Am I being led to understand that you knew exactly every toy that every friend of your children owned? I find that hard to believe. You might think you know everything about your children's friends parents, but I guarantee you did not. And a toy that bothers me, does not necessarily bother another set of parents. You say you don't like toy guns, well don't pretend to tell me that your children never played with a child that owned a toy gun. You just can't screen people like that. It's better that these toy manufacturers don't create controversial toys in the first place. Wouldn't that be refreshing! But they will never stop creating these toys as long as people don't protest or complain.Inspired said:What's to stop your child? You. Do you just let your kid go somewhere without knowing the parents of the other children they are hanging out with? Mine never did.

We're getting drastically off-topic here. I didn't post to be called names or labeled paranoid and a lousy parent. I was simply bringing up a topic for discussion. I'm sorry some people jumped to an assumption that I was discussing a different doll but I certainly can't control that.

It's like boys and G.I. Joe.
And that secret spells comment was just pathetic.

I wonder if this Barbie comes with a pink minivan and matching shoes? Probably not.
Wonder how Ken feels being the boyfriend of a borg drone? Oh who cares...just tell him to shut up and assimilate him.
And he thought, "Resistance is futile" was a come on line. Silly Male.
ROFL! Great point.Inspired said:And? It's just down the aisle from the replica of the sub-machine gun too right?
IvoryRain said:I think would be a good idea for Matell to pull any product promoting any type of religion. Obviously we can see what an outcry it causes.
The one I'm referring to is the one where the takes the sales pitch of "Secret Spells" and makes it seem as though little girls everywhere will start keeping secrets from the parents who bought them the dolls.Inspired said:Ok, that's a bit rude.

Seriously, the dolls don't come with spells pre-packaged for the girls to cast or whatever.
Well, Matell owns the Barbie trademark and sells the dolls through KB Toy Stores - though they have changed the name of it since its release on January 1st 2003.Inspired said:While I don't agree, I've yet to see any evidence that mattel has anything to do with the doll, it can't be found on any mattel site. I have a hard time believing that that there would be a pic and news of it's impending arrival, without at least a press release from mattel.
