Amazing and fascinating. But in Egypt, she still gets to wear T-shirts:

Do her clothes come off? What’s under her outfit to keep her from wearing Barbie skirts?
Is there a corresponding Khan doll that beats her when forearm slips out of her garment while she washes his feet?
Is there a brother doll who waves anti-Western signs and then explodes, killing all of the nearby dolls?
That sounds Western to me.
Wait a second, Barbie is banned in Saudi Arabia because they think she’s Jewish? Isn’t she like the ultimate shiksa?
You know, they could save on actually making dolls altogether if they just a burqa line: just a round black tent with a pair of eyes somewhere near the top. “It’s new Beach Burqa Fulla!” Or Honour Killing Fulla {matches and lighter fluid each sold separately}.
This is so going to get closed, but before it does, I just wanna say “HI!”
I was curious what this would look like, so I found an article with pictures
Can you fire her from a potato cannon?
I saw one of those when I was in Egypt last month, and briefly considered buying one. Interestingly enough, it was at City Stars that I saw it - which is one of the stores mentioned in the article. (That is a big mall.)
I feel bad about this post. It was funny to me at the time, hell it still is, but it’s packed with hate and anger and was inappropriate for this board. I’ll try to check that next time.
