A West Virginia lawmaker wants to ban Barbie in some lame attempt to "save" kids from the image influence of Barbie
"I just hate the image that we want to give to our kids - that you're beautiful - you're beautiful - you don't have to be smart," West Virginia Delegate Jeff Eldridge says of Barbie.
Well it's too late for that. Fifty years later, Barbie is hotter than ever. Although it's true and sad that sometimes it has to come to those perfect pouty lips, shapely breasts and perfectly proportional figure - but we can't do much anymore. Barbie is Barbie. The brand has withstood the test of time
"Barbie is really a longstanding, and sort of complicated cultural icon and I think there are many ways Barbie could be viewed," Frayda Cohen, a professor of women's studies at the University of Pittsburgh, said.
