Realistically how much has this character changed since her debut?

Look at the first time she was on the cover of a comic book.



And that was in 1947. True it's a bit more conservative of course, but how much difference is there really?

The image below is the official DC Comics Black Canary collectible figurine:



Is that very different from this Barbie? Not really...

To me personally... As people mentioned above I believe that Barbie isn't exactly the best role model type toy for parents to buy their kids anyways. But I think that decision should be made by parents, not advocacy groups.

“People buy them for their KIDS?”

Why? I have a sneaking suspicion that Cindy McCain may be a dominatrix, that's why. She seems kind of reptilian to me, too. She may not be, but that is my impression, just the same. Not a judgment, just an interpretation of an observation. I told you not to ask me why. Michelle Obama doesn't come across to me as someone who fancies a machine gun, but who knows?

This whole article was really tongue in cheek for me anyway. I do think the doll is inappropriate for kids. I think Barbie dolls in general give little girls the wrong impression about what being a woman is all about. The media in general does. Society relies on mothers to balance out the input. From some of the responses to this thread, we may be in trouble on that front, too. Any decent dads out there? Now, don't go all Fem-Nazi on me, ok? I'm just kidding around. I know I will be called to account for every word.

The attacks from you Christian bashers (you know who you are) are really uncalled for, as well. I forgive you though, just like Christ asked His Father to forgive His tormenters and executioners, because you know not what you do. Maybe you'll figure it out eventually, and then there's a chance you will be sorry. In the meantime, maybe you can forgive me for my crass attempts at humor. Either way, may God bless and keep you all.
