Barbie's not plastic--she's Teflon.

For decades Barbie has been placed in compromising situations. As
children, my friends and I had Barbie and her friends doing whatever we
could think of. Most of which would have 'given Barbie a bad name'. But
nothing we did made any difference at all. There was no negative impact
on Barbie. Barbie's not plastic–she's Teflon. Our children still want
Barbie dolls. BTW - Ever notice those dirty old Barbies are usually
headless?

Likewise artists' Barbie I-Net Art or other Barbie Art won't sway
children from wanting Barbie Dolls. Mattel needs to realize it's not
about what we do with Barbie, it's about having our own Barbies to do
with as we please. And that means anything we can imagine! As such,
Barbie won't be hurt at all by I-Net Art. Perhaps Barbie sales will
increase as more people beyond the age of 10 buy Barbies for creative
expression. …uh, right, no doubt.

The Thing, http://www.thing.net, has quite a bit of material on the so
called Barbie War. To add bytefuel to the winds of change, I created a
zipfile of G. H. Hovagimyan's BKPC (Barbie & Ken Politically Correct)
I-Net Art. G. H. and I would like you to download it, unzip it, and
publish it on the web. The point here is to replicate many, many
instances of BKPC on the web. If you don't know how to publish webpages
or you don't have a webserver, get someone else to do it for you.

Here are my BKPC links.
