Are these people nuts?/Barbie

"I'd like to send a message to not only our children but parents and educators that let's push education over the importance of beauty.”

Ironic, you can't legislate for brains either.

“I think that it's nice to have a male member of the House of Delegates worried about women's image and what they're supposed to do or what they think they're supposed to do to succeed,"

I think it would be nice to have such men take on issues that impact women's lives, not this attention getting crappola.
 
Totally ridiculous. Doesn't government have more important things to worry about? I don't need the higher ups telling me whether or not I'm allowed to buy a doll. Way too big brother for me.

Big Brother is right!!
 
If they get rid of the dolls, they'd better get rid of all the women's magazines as well, that push a particular brand of beauty. And the tabloids that cover beautiful but thin celebrities. And all the movies out of Hollywood where the actors are better looking than the average person on the street.

I appreciate his intent, but yes, this is too far. I grew up with Barbie and I'm sure my issues don't stem from her. My mother and magazines, however.....!!!!!
 
This is just utterly ridiculous. With everything that is happening in the world, heck the U.S., you would think they had better things to do. I seriously doubt Barbie has any impact on a young girl's self image, more likely it would be her mom & other females around her . Hope these lawmakers move onto some real issues.

I agree wholeheartedly with you Stebby!!
 
Our elected officials seem to be perfecting their ability to do nothing by legislating nothing issues. Is this the Government we really deserve?
