It baffles me why parents and loved ones would purchase and allow an item that displays women in a very negitive way. I'm talking about Bratz. These disgusting pieces of plastic have taken over toy boxes, bedrooms and lunch kits. What kind of sane person would allow their childs last image at night to be of a botox injected prostitute? These are the images little girls idolize. Given, some Barbies also now look like skanks but it's still possible to find Dr. Barbie. Also, can someone tell me why Baby Bratz are wearing something similar to something on a bondage site? Children are easily influenced. These little girls like their scantly dressed dolls and you can find clothes similar in many stores. You let her have her way already so just finish the job and hike that skirt up. This is just another prime example of parents needing to take responsibility. Yes, let kids be kids but there's also a thing called common sense.
Comments please...

"But I like them." "My friend has one." "It's a Christmas gift, so it's okay." There is more then enough crap out there brainwashing people of all ages, why allow it in your home? It may not be my problem at the moment (seeings how I don't have children.) But what about it 10 years (or less) when these kids start to venture out on their own? Doesn't that come soceities problem then. I was so pleased when I saw My Little Pony and Strawberry Shortcake make a come back on to store shelves but obviously people just don't care anymore.

It is part of the way society is slowly becoming more and more desensitized about what used to be taboos.
Sex sells, period. The bad thing is that it can not be contained to adults only, and slowly but surely the age of exposing people to it in its less explicit forms is going down.
Bratz is a sad logical next step. I just hope that parents will be able to keep those clothes off their kids untill they know what they are wearing and why.
They are not much different from what people are wearing in music and other videos...
The way a woman dresses is never negative, unless it is forced upon her, I do think, however, that exposure to this kind of clothing does little good for fashion sense.

There was an interesting article in The New Yorker a couple of weeks ago about the marketing genius who came up with Bratz, and one of the interesting parts for me was the notion that the marketers quickly dismiss the issue of parental distaste or discomfort for the images suggested. While parents may have a vague distrust of a product, they generally buy it anyway, giving in to the childhood whims, as they did for Barbie and GI Joe, for example. Read the article, it was disturbing.
