Nikki, that one brightened my day too, and I immediately thought: that's
the campaign someone smarter than I should run, a campaign to put the
nipples back on Ken & Barbie, lol. (I say that with tongue planted only
partially in cheek.) I can see the posters and slogans now: GIVE BARBIE
HER NIPPLES BACK! BARBIE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BREASTFEED TOO! ;-)
Seriously, think about the impact on our kids. It contributes to the
notion that nipples are nasty instead of nurturing. I remember as a
child wondering why Barbie didn't have any nipples...
