yeah, that's what i thought too. While i think it's good that the Bratz do multi cultural dolls, i still don't like them for their image they are portraying to young girls.

Hey, I don't know what kind of Barbies you guys played with, but the ones that I had as a kid were like slutmaster barbies... you know, Pam Anderson boobs, tiny waist, all the shirts designed to show off her cleavage.

And did you guys know that the Barbie doll was modeled after a German "adult toy" doll?  

My kids are only going to be allowed to watch the Hallmark Channel and play with an Easy Bake Oven, because all of the toys out there promote something bad.  No wait, they can't play with an Easy bake, because that will promote stereotypical female roles to my daughters...  damn, sorry kids, no toys for you!  No wait, they can play with that little cup and ball toy.  That's it.  

My poor future children.

This is true, and you do have a point. But when I walked in to the shop today, do you know what my boss's daughter was doing? Strutting around with her shirt hiked up above her belly so that she could look like her Bratz doll. Now, i know that with some guidance from her mother this image she has can be shaken, but at the same time it was the doll that influenced her. An easybake oven is much less harmful than a skantally clad doll. You're talking about two very different toys on two very different ends of the spectrum.

On one hand, I agree with you.  On the other hand, I don't.  But that doesn't really matter.

The point I was trying to make is that there are good and bad things that have to do with any toy.  Just like there are good and bad aspects of anything in life.  The big thing is that parents have to be around to teach their children that they do not dress like Barbie/Bratz.  I'll be honest, I don't spend a lot of time hanging out in the toy aisles of my favorite discount store.  I'm no resident expert on child psychology or how much these toys really affect kids in the long run.  But I do know that parents have the biggest influence on their kids lives.  Especially when they're young.  And no random plastic doll (that inevitably gets tossed into the toy bin about a week after the reciept of it) can change that.

So there.  I blame the parents.  And Bill Gates.  Anyone with that much money has to be guilty of something.

So, anybody know if Vanessa has any of these Bratz dolls?  Or is she more of a Barbie Girl?  Oooooh they need to make a NessaBarbie- complete with a piana...

I completely agree with you! my mom is a third grade teacher, and i spend half of my day everyday volunteering in her school, and you can tell the kids who have their parents for influences and who have the media. Parental influence is vital. :-) Jessica

lol, I babysit for these lil 4 and 7 year old girls every week and their mom was complaining to me how disgusted she was with bratz and she'd never let her girls play with them... I think they do give lil girls the signal that it's ok to dress like sluts. It's one thing that their idols do, but the dolls they play with? come on!

exaclty. I mean, I understand what angelcorrine (sorry dont' know your name  :oops: ) means about Barbies being the same thing, and in a way they are. But i also remember my barbies wearing clothes that fit them, and weren't short and flashy like the Bratz clothing, you know?
