West Virginia Lawmaker Jeff Eldridge Seeks Barbie Ban

Now that she’s turning 50, Barbie may find herself an outlaw in West Virginia!
Democratic Delegate Jeff Eldridge proposed a bill Tuesday that would ban the iconic doll and all of her plastic clones. The measure, creatively entitled the "Barbie Ban Bill," claims such toys perpetuate unhealthy, unrealistic stereotypes for young girls and women: "I just hate the image that we give to our kids that if you’re beautiful, you’re beautiful, and you don’t have to be smart."
I'm guessing convicted offenders would go straight to the Barbie Big House? Hmmm.
