With a background in counseling, he said he's concerned about the pressure put on girls regarding body image and weight. He cited tales from parents of daughters battling eating disorders, depression and suicidal thoughts.

"I personally feel that it ought to be up to the parents, what they let their kids play with," Eldridge said. "So to me, it had nothing to do with Barbie.

"But it did have to do with the image that society places on our young children, on what they should look like to be able to succeed."

Bad parenting worsens these pressures and helped prompt the bill, he said.

Then why is he trying to pass a bill that bans "Barbie" if he feels it should be up to the parents? Um, I bet 99% of the women on here played with Barbies when we were kids, and we all turned out ok.

All of you turned out ok? Hmmm, I am not so sure about that one...

Barbie.

That's right folks, Barbie is no longer a threat to little girls in West Virginia.
...

The guy who introduced the legislation - Jeff Eldrige - is a DEMOCRAT! Didn't see that comin'!

I most certainly did! As I was reading the article, I was thinking to myself, the guy has to be a Democrat. Later in the article that was confirmed.

Thank you Mr. Eldridge for protecting the young ladies of West Virginia from... what? Oh and guess what, I bet if they make Barbie sales illegal parents will drive across the state line to get their daughters Barbies or will that be a crime as well?

Personally, I blame Barbie for my predilection for buxom blonds. She ruined my life, just think of all the good looking brunettes I passed up.

What, you never noticed any of Barbie's friends? They all had the same boobs, because every woman dreams of having a rich friend who wears the same size clothes as her.

They share bra's?

I don't think they make bra's for barbie? or maybe they do now.
And I loved playing with barbie as a child and I don't think I developed a complex but I do highlight my hair blonde and have big boobs. Oh shit! But now I have someone to blame all my problems on.

Thats so totally ridicolous, what about banning scools because they (in theory) reward beeing smart?

I mean, you could not buy Barbies in East Germany, but we had a slightly smarter reasons (something about the Empire of Evil not beeing able to profit from our hard progressive socialist work or something like that).

Maybe we should ban congress because it rewards beeing corrupt?

Yes, punishment will include spending the weekend with Barbie's little flat-chested sis Skipper and the ever cheesy Ken. (flock hair and painted hair Ken only). If that doesn't cure you of your Barbie fetish, GI Joe will punch your lights out!

 

[slackjawed]

The real reason for the ban on barbies is so kids can't use them in court to show how there were touched......

Well I had a huge Ken and Barbie collection in the mid 70's, Then my GI Joe had a Vietnam flashback and wiped them all out.
What made it worse , Richard Crenna shipped him off to Thailand before the cops could catch him...bastard!

I bought them for my daughter, but she was never really interested in them, so now they are in my classroom, where the girls love to play with them. I still have my Barbies from when I was a child. It's crazy what this guy is trying to do!

I played with Barbie dolls, whether or not I turned out ok is still up for debate...

Barbie.

That's right folks, Barbie is no longer a threat to little girls in West Virginia.

The Columbus Dispatch : Don't expect to see Mountaineer Barbie

The legislation would outlaw sales of the iconic Mattel toy "and other similar dolls that promote or influence girls to place an undue importance on physical beauty to the detriment of their intellectual and emotional development."

I don't know about you, but I am certainly sleeping better knowing that Barbie will no longer be able to hurt little girls.

Thank god they passed this bill. I was wondering how you could raise children with that kind influence.

It's West Virginia people...they are replacing Mountaineer Barbie with Hillbilly Barbie and Redneck Ken:

It's like I'm looking across the border into Kentucky!

Growing up, I remember girls playing with Hillbilly Barbie and her brother Ken!

Did you notice Ken's tattoo? Maybe he's at a Nascar Race, or the Indy 500?


Barbie of course is sunning her pregnant belly so she can look good in her bikini at the swimming hole!

If you can't raise your kids right, you can't raise your kids right. Outside influences shouldn't be that important to them, if they are then you are the one fucking them up.

Change .... there go more jobs!! and more unhappy kids willing to join a volunteerism cult instead. Whats next video games?

ACK! Do NOT give them any ideas ... they almost did that once already and I nearly had a heart attack!

Video games have been ruled free speech so no it won't happen. Hell they can't even ban sales of violent games to kids, not enough proof it's harmful.

 

[LiveUninhibited]

They should play with Alabama Man instead:

Just Funny : Alabama Man (South Park) @ theTravisty

Barbie promotes domestic violence by teaching little boys that it is fun and easy to rip women's heads off.

Na Barbie was a powerful witch who shot lasers from her teets. She could still do that even without a head.

I'm thinking Rep. Eldridge shorted Mattel recently and is looking to make a killing when the stock collapses.
