Mattel to sue over lesbian Barbie show (pic) - GoFuckYourself.com

Toy manufacturer Mattel is reportedly threatening to sue a Brazilian artist for portraying Barbie as a lesbian.

Karin Schwarz's exhibition features pictures of Barbie in compromising situations, reports the Jornal de Sao Paulo newspaper.

Mattel has given the artist 24 hours to close down the exhibiton or they say they will take legal action.

But Ms Schwarz says she will not back down: "Barbie is exploited by Mattel. She wears a bikini, she shows off her belly, has big breasts, and even has a boyfriend," she said.

The exhibition, entitled Amazing Girls, is on show at a bar in the city of Curitiba.

A Mattel spokesperson said: "Barbie is a very proper lady and she is not happy about being portraited as something that she isn't.

"We are going to sue and we hope that this teaches people a lesson. Also, Barbie is 46 years old, she should be respected!"

What bullshit. It's art. We're going to start allowing toy companies to dictate artistic expression? I think not.

Also are these quotes for real: "Barbie is a very proper lady and she is not happy about being portraited as something that she isn't." "We are going to sue and we hope that this teaches people a lesson. Also, Barbie is 46 years old, she should be respected!"

Oh, lesbians aren't "proper" and don't deserve to be "respected"?

Barbie's a slut, let's face it. She dresses like a whore, drives around in toys she gets men to buy her, and has giant fake titties.

Personally I think she'd get more respect if she were a self dependant, strong proud woman (like most lesbians are).

Give me a break.............

Boys and girls have been making the dolls do all sorts of funny things, some of which, I'm sure, would be to make two twin barbies kiss. Mattel can't tell it's consumers how to display or use the toys they sell.

Whoever decided to sue the guy is a moron.
