Barbie may not look a day over 23, but Mattel’s miniature MILF will turn 50 on March 9th. However, with just five days until the big 5-0, it seems as though the plastic beauty icon could receive her birthday punches a few days early.
Ken’s on-again off-again main squeeze is facing a possible ban in the State of West Virginia thanks in part to Democratic Delegate Jeff Eldridge, who proposed a bill outlawing the collectible playmate for pre-teens. Jeff believes that such toys carry with them a propensity for teaching young girls to place the importance on physical beauty over intelligence and emotional maturity - a characteristic not at all embodied by the other 9,099 things that fill a young girl’s upbringing.
The bill was recently sent to a house judiciary committee where Eldridge expects it to be laughed at despite it’s noble reasoning. Unfortunately, Mattel could not be reached for comment on account of Teen Talk Barbie tying up the phone lines over a Rainbow Princess Barbie clothes-borrowing tiff.
