“Outlaw Barbie” In West Virginia
Fifty years … FIFTY YEARS!
At least two (or three) generations of American girls have been exposed to Barbie.
Buddy, get real and justify your government (see: taxpayer) paycheck some other way.
Bill to ban sales of Barbie dolls proposed by West Virginia politician
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Barbie could get an unwelcome present for her 50th birthday: outlawed in West Virginia.
A state lawmaker proposed a bill Tuesday to ban sales of the iconic Mattel doll and others like her.
The proposal from Democratic Delegate Jeff Eldridge says such toys influence girls to place too much importance on physical beauty, at the expense of their intellectual and emotional development.
A Mattel spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday. The Barbie doll officially turns 50 on March 9, and the toy maker has made big plans this year to mark the anniversary.
Barbie has had her foes over that half-century. Critics say the doll promotes materialism and an unnatural body image.

I love those womens license plate frames that say, “I want to be Barbie, that bitch gets everything!”.
50 years old and still makin’ men crazy!
Ha!
That’s what unions do people, corrupt the mind. WV should be one of the most conservative states in the US, other than it’s one of the most unionized states.
We have more important problems in West Virginia than motherfucking barbie dolls.
“A state lawmaker proposed a bill Tuesday to ban sales of the iconic Mattel doll and others like her.”
I have a better idea! Lets ban moronic politicians like Jeff Eldridge from ever attaining public office again. Sheesh…with the freaking problems this country is facing right now…all this idiotic democrat can come up with is banning Barbie?
Rep Eldridge sounds like a fag.
Eldridge needs to find something better to do with his time, such as representing his area and his state, a startling concept for many of them.
Maybe if he bans them in West Virginia, his collection in DC will be more valuable.
Did he get rejected for the sexual reassignment surgery?
He must not have been allowed to play with them when he was little…..
Will someone in West Virgina please bitch-slap Jeff Eldridge repeatedly.
I’m glad to see that WV dosen’t have anymore pressing problems than dolls.
