Hmm, very interesting, I always wondered where the idea for barbie came from, thanks HH =)

I dyed all my barbie's hair with kool-aid when I was a kid, and a few of them had mowhawks!

"A group of parents, feminists and other activists known as the Barbie Liberation Organization bought hundreds of Barbies and GI Joe dolls, and switched their voice circuitry. This resulted in the new modified Barbie saying, "Eat lead, Cobra!" and "Dead men tell no lies.""
