what the HELL ARE BRATZ

Okay I have ZERO contact with anyone under the age of 21 and I don’t own a TV. I saw some shit on the internet advertising them and I need some information.

  1. What is it
  2. Who buys it as in age range
  3. Is it expensive
  4. How the hell are they marking something called BRATZ its not even SPELLED RIGHT and they look like whores?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH EVERYONE?

Here is the official site for Bratz, and here is a Wikipedia article about them. I don’t like them, I think they are ugly, and encourage young girls to dress way too provacatively.

Bratz and the brats that love them are why I take BCP every morning.

OMG! There is a movie coming out, very teen angst. I feel dumber for having sat in shock and watched the trailer that plays on the Bratz site.

They’re bigheaded little dolls that come with tons of accessories (which is always the best part of any doll), funky clothes, and lots of bling and shiny things. My daughter has a couple; I’m not terribly fond of them (I think they’re ugly, too) but I don’t see how they’re any worse than the Barbie dolls my mother foisted on me when I was a kid. I mean, so far my daughter has shown no inclination to pile on the mascara, get lip implants, and walk around in a sparkly mini-skirt and spaghetti strap tank top with “Bad Grrl” written across the front in rhinestones.

There are clothes made for little girls though, that emulate the way Bratz are dressed. This is what I was referring to. :wink:

Bratz are one of several reasons I hope I only have sons.

Bratz are one of several reasons I’m glad I only have sons.

There have already been a series of direct-to-video “movies” from them.

I can’t stand the little demon whores. They’re supposed to be, what, like 12 or something? And they dress like two dolla street hos? This is supposed to be an image little girls should emulate? Look up to as “cool” peers? Fuck the whole lot of them with rough-hewn pine trees!

There was an article on them (prehaps in Time or Newsweek) written by a mother talking about the dolls – she finally bought one for her daughter. The doll was wearing a martial arts uniform - the writer said that was a burkha(sp?) compared to most of the clothing choices…

I thought it was some new brand of bratwurst sausages! Just saw an ad for bratwurst on TV today so I opened this thread…

Oh, well, nevermind. What, ME out of touch? :o

I’d like to point out that the head of the company is an Iranian Jew. This means that they’re either part of a Zionist plot to destroy America or an Al Qaeda one. :wink:

I wonder how much trouble I’d get into for selling Humbert Humbert and Artie Johnson Dirty Old Man[sup]TM[/sup] dolls?

Of course! Why didn’t I think of that?

I don’t know, but you can get Michael Jackson figures.

Yes, but I don’t think there are any little boy bratz (I could be wrong, though).

There are boy Bratz dolls, they are called Boyz. Read the Wikipedia article I linked.

I’m no parent but I really don’t see the big deal, based on looking at their site. The dolls seem to be mostly wearing tank tops and jeans. Are tank tops now “whorish” and the devil?

Only the Zionist Wing of al-Qaeda could be evil enough to foist BRATZ on the world. Have you ever seen Osama bin Laden and Ehud Olmert in the same place at the same time? Didn’t think so.

My daughter will grow out of Bratz fascination soon, I hope.
The bulbous-headed plastic grotesques are bad enough (I think the thing that disturbs me most is not their distended, globular heads, but the fact that to change their shoes, you have to pull off their lower legs mid-shin, then put new feet onto the stumps), but the movies and cartoons are just excremental - there are no words to describe how mind-numbingly vapid they are.

Unless they become attracted to girls like that! :eek:
