A top Iranian judiciary official warned Monday against the “destructive” cultural and social consequences of importing Barbie dolls and other Western toys.
In the latest salvo in a more than decade-old government campaign against Barbie, Prosecutor General Ghorban Ali Dori Najafabadi said in an official letter to Vice President Parviz Davoudi that the doll and other Western toys are a “danger” that need to be stopped.
I’ve got news for Najafabadi; traditional Americans have been complaining about Barbie for years. Barbie has been blamed for eating disorders, unrealistic perceptions of beauty and yes sometimes immodesty. Although I doubt Najafabadi’s opinion is any more common than the American criticism of Barbie. If it was, no one would buy Barbie in Iran and it wouldn’t be a problem.
Given the popularity of my post on FLDS Mormon wear and Islamic wear, I thought I’d post some pictures of the Barbie’s Islamic competitors.
1. Dara and Sara from Iran.
2. Fulla from Syria
3. Razanne from America.
4. Salma from Indonesia.
I post these pictures in order to show how similar we all really are.
