Folks I don't want to split our little community down the middle but do Barbie's parents have a case here or is it down to who has the longer finger nails...???

It is just another sign that Barbie is s*****d.

I was always a Sindy fan. She wasn't blonde.

I'd comletely forgot about her!

IIRC my kid sister used to have one.

I'm going to be the Swiss and take both sides money back to my Cave Kingdom.

I'd certainly stand up for Barbie against Bratz. She is much more of a lady. However, I am no fan of Barbie - it was her mate Ken that really put me off. I would love to see GI-JOE kick that permatan eijit.

Cactus,

I can't work out what naughty word that is. Give me a clue, I must know the naughty word!

I can think of at least three very naughty possibilities.

I've just thought of a second! Neither make much sense though.

Well I can think of one but it doesn't fit in with the stars. Is it really a 7 letter word? I must know all the bold words before I die.

Oh aye, just thought of another naughty word but it don't make much sense, not in the way it is usually intended anyways.

The context Slarti is that Barbie after a long reign as most popular doll has for some time now has been overtaken in popularity by the dreaded Bratz.

History and More Information about Bratz Dolls: Bratz has overtaken Barbie in many parts of the world as the number one selling fashion doll. The dolls have a whole world available to them--besides the dolls, there are playsets, outfits, fashions for girls, even dvds and video games and a theatrical movie release slated for 2006. The dolls have even won several toy industry awards including Character Brand License of the Year from Licensing Industry Merchandisers Association (LIMA), as well as several Toy of the Year and other awards from Family Fun and the Toy Industry Association (TIA). Bratz are available in nearly 70 countries worldwide.
There are several characters of dolls, including Cloe, Sasha, Jade and Yasmin, and the dolls are multi-ethnic. They have combable, rooted hair for play value. The dolls have very over-sized heads which help them resemble some of the big-head, big-eye dolls of the 1960s such as Blythe. The dolls are also known for having fun, detailed accessories and play sets which reflect their "cool" (and somewhat materialistic) lifestyle--discos, karaoke and sushi bars, salons and spas, limosines, retro cafes, malls are all available

A convenient feature of Bratz is that if you want to change their Jimmy Choos you unscrew their feet and replace them with another pair with new shoes on.

Barbie accessories and other stuff like cars and horses etc. are of lower quality construction thatn the Bratz equivalents

The Bratz faces look very weird - doesn't it make children think in a lateral way about what is involved in 'good looks' or what? Next dolls will have gapped teeth.
