I just watched the news and it featured a new Barbie doll.

This is the Barbie, representing Cher from her "Turn Back Time" video, when she was singing for military men in a thong bodysuit, boots, garters, etc. as you can see from the picture.
I find this Barbie to be inappropriate, as most young girls do not know Cher, and this just looks like Dominatrix Barbie to me. You think?
I'm a very young mom and I like to think I'm somewhat cool, but something about this, the overly sexy "Bratz" dolls, and all of these toys marketed to young girls are just horrifying. I remember having Barbie and the raciest thing she ever wore was a swimsuit! Obviously, parenting is more important than the influence of any toy, but do you think this is right? Why are things like this even being marketed? More importantly, why are parents buying these things?
