Barbie Suing Bratz

June 2, 2008 | ISSUE 44•23

Barbie producer Mattel, Inc. is suing MGA Entertainment, saying that the company's Bratz doll was designed by a Mattel employee while under contract. What do you think?

There's no way that MGA could have thought up a female doll targeted towards young girls all on their own.

Duane Pulvermacher
Systems Analyst
Mattel is paying for its fateful refusal to create a hotter Midge.

Amy Evans
Accountant
I hope Barbie wins. Those god-awful Bratz dolls set an unattainable standard of sass that no normal girl could ever live up to.
