American Voices • business • ISSUE 44•23 • Jun 2, 2008

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.”

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