http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/200 ... -ban_N.htmhttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29508066/Quote: CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Just in time for Barbie's 50th birthday, a West Virginia lawmaker wants to outlaw the doll.
Democratic Delegate Jeff Eldridge is proposing to ban the sale of the Mattel doll and others like her in West Virginia.
He says the dolls influence girls to place too much importance on physical beauty, at the expense of their intellectual and emotional development.
He joins others who have criticized the doll over the years for promoting materialism and an unnatural body image.
Barbie turns 50 on March 9, and the toy maker has made big plans this year to mark the anniversary.

Current television, their friends, their age, and their desire to fit in will be the bigger influences in any girls early life. Playing with dolls at their appropriate age is nothing to worry about, when they get older they will grow out of it. And even on the off chance of one person lingering longer in any stage, it can be blamed on poor parenting, or other forms of bad supervision.
I believe there's no reason for his claim to have any ground, it's completely absurd.

They'd better look at the fact that people are getting children at way younger ages, Those young parents have no clue what to do in several cases, and not all of them are lucky enough to have granps backing up.
So when those children divert to the wrong path at some age, they need to blame something.
In this case, barby's going down for little children wanting to dress like their teen mother.

When I was about 8 years old I had a friend that played with barbies. She had a doll house and everyone time I came to her house all the barbies would be naked sitting on the coach together, or they would be the car or somethin. Always naked. Maybe that is why WV can't have barbies  .
