Either way, someone's losing a trailer.

Government control and regulation over dolls. What a waste of time and money, for a man who admits "He realizes the Bill will never make it." Could we maybe focus on the proactive aspect and introduce something that promotes positive self esteem for adolescent girls? Oh, wait, that's what the EXPERT's recommend. Logic...it's its a good thing when solving problems, but that wasn't Edridge's intent. It was publicity, and I doubt for the cause he touts.

Besides, Babs is made her debut in Feb of 1959. What would Ken and GI Joe do without her? Hummmm.

Miss Barbie is what, 50 yrs. old? Maybe they should start making her look more age appropriate. Wrinkles, gray hair, sagging titties and a fluffy butt. Look more granny like.

Then, make her feel really badly about it.
Yeah, that's the ticket.

Democrats are mentally retarded.

lol I think it goes way beyond political party. Did you check out the video clip on the original article?

This is getting out of hand! Way out of hand! Maybe they should make fat barbies so then people could choose what they want.

I played with barbies when I was a child and didn't have any problems due to playing with them.

I think this country is becoming comunist. It is just getting out of control. Or should I say that the extremely well overly paid government is trying to control every little thing in this country. Next, they will tax us for wiping our asses! oh, wait, they already do! We have to pay taxes on the toilet paper...LOL WOW!

I just put my head down and shake it. It is just getting worse! What the hell will my kids have to deal with when they become adults? I really feel sad for them. I hope they will help to make a difference in this world and make changes for the better unlike the one's in higher up positions right now.

They only see in their little box, not the big picture!

Don't mean to offend anyone out there, this just makes me angry as all get out!

Ban Jeff Eldridge.

This is America.

As long as the doll does not have razor blades sticking outta it should be up to the parents to decide whether or not to buy it for the kids

So let me get this straight. Ban Barbie dolls because over 70% of our population has obesity issues? Are you serious?

Barbie sucks. Made for and by white folks for white girls only. Barbie is played out. American girl doll is better with a better image for girls.

How about a Pelosi doll? Funny thing about Pelosi . She's got black eyes, lifeless eyes, like a dolls eyes. You don't even know that their lookin' at ya'. till she comes up and sound-bite's ya'. Ahh....Then you hear that high pitched screamin'.
'I'll never wear a life jacket again.'

I guess they have to change it to :
"W. Virginia is for black, empowered, ugly lovers."

When asked the gov. said:
"We don't cotten to no good lookin' white womens roun' here!!! Now git.!! You ain't no democrat!!!

Not to be confused with all the colleges, organizations, black caucus in congress, and a whole list of other things that have been established in this country for black folks only.

no wonder the world is fat. people get their feelings hurt over a barbie thats beautiful and healthy looking. after barbie is banned maybe we can look forward to a new version of a fat ugly unhealthy "barbie," now thats a role model!!!!!! by encouraging fat unhealty living early on our healthcare goes up and the friggen politicians are focusing on the real important things.........dolls!

Eldridge thinks there needs to be a BILL for this? What a surprise…he’s a Democrat! Will he start a book burning too?

It should be common sense that teen and fashion magazines influence girls far more.

Those are protected under the 1st amendment, little girl's dollies ain't.

I see what hes sayin but banning barbie isnt going to change how men look at women. the whole thing is about men and their fantasies so youd have to ban how we think too.

the attraction to physical beauty is an inherent biological force, a produt of a million years of evolution.
and now some whiny sourpuss wants us all to pretend that healthy, visual genetic cues don't matter?
barbie is a doll, an exaggerated cartoon of an attractive human female. and thats all.
maybe your fat kids should lose some weight?

Your "fat kids" remark was mean, but your basic point is correct.

Whether we like it or not, the obsession with looks is rooted in biology; it isn't something being impossed from the outside by "Barbie" or "the media", etc.

Estblished due to whites lack of inclusiveness. Any white is free to join any of those organizations you mentioned...the fact remains that they don't want to because whites generally don't have blacks best interest at hand.

Ban congress; both side are ruining this country with their pet projects the hands in the pockets of lobbyist and their pork and fat earmarks.....
