Now In Stores, Burkha Barbie!
By Wyatt Earp | November 21, 2009
What. The. Falafel? JammieWearingFool has the insanity:
The twisted irony here is these “Burkha Barbies” are part of a “Save the Children” charity auction. These pinheads apparently aven’t given a thought to saving young girls from the subjugation of wearing a hefty bag over their head and body.
Yes, a really “great idea” to let young girls know they have no future other than to be kept shrouded from view and forced to live as virtual slaves:
One of the world’s most famous children’s toys, Barbie, has been given a makeover – wearing a burkha.
Wearing the traditional Islamic dress, the iconic doll is going undercover for a charity auction in connection with Sotheby’s for Save The Children. More than 500 Barbies went on show yesterday at the Salone dei Cinquecento, in Florence, Italy.
Ooh, maybe if I hurry, I can score one for Julia! /snark.

Instead of Barbie’s Dream Car, maybe they can have Barbie’s Suicide Bomb Belt as a fashion accessory?
I think the one in the orange burka is really Ken trying to sneak through customs!
is there a Sheik Ken, that is married to all the burkha barbies in the collection?
proof – if there’s a Ken doll, i’m sure there’s some AK-47, RPG and EID accessories.
Does she come with a mahram?
My brain hurts.
YGTBSM…. sigh… or is that Sihk…
That’s sick.
Proof – Pull the string, and she belts out a jihadi scream.
Smite – Yeah, and he is anatomically correct.
Mrs. Crankipants – Yes, and he has a whip and throwing stones.
RT – As it should after reading this.
Old NFO – This is why the world is screwed.
Captain – Yes, it is.
“Pull the string, and she belts out a jihadi scream.”
ROFLMAO!! now that’s funny right there!!
I could totally visualize that too, probably from watching too much Family Guy or American Dad and whatnot.
Seems that when all these self anointed sacrosanct POS terrorists (Fort Hood assassin included) are investigated it is found that prior to their massacres they entertain themselves in strip clubs. I guess they want to see what one really looks like since they are hitting each other from behind. So the barbies will go real well with the blowup dolls in their closets
There should be an option for “removable” head and not to forget the stick “no bigger than your finger” for flailing them with… Hey, lets make it real for the gals.
If they are going for realism – why not make little Skipper a child bride…/barf
Idiots…
Smite – Both are fantastically funny shows.
Crusty – And a big stack of dollar bills.
Rob – Realism makes it more fun.
Shannon – Agreed. Not a lot of sense in this costume choice.
This like telling our children they have no future and when they grow up it will be an Islamic country not a free democratic one anymore
Absolutely disgusting
