Karin Schwarz's exhibition features pictures of Barbie in compromising situations, reports the Jornal de Sao Paulo newspaper.

Mattel has given the artist 24 hours to close down the exhibiton or they say they will take legal action.

But Ms Schwarz says she will not back down: "Barbie is exploited by Mattel. She wears a bikini, she shows off her belly, has big breasts, and even has a boyfriend," she said.

The exhibition, entitled Amazing Girls, is on show at a bar in the city of Curitiba.

A Mattel spokesperson said: "Barbie is a very proper lady and she is not happy about being portraited as something that she isn't.

"We are going to sue and we hope that this teaches people a lesson. Also, Barbie is 46 years old, she should be respected!"

Not that I side with Mattel on this but:



"Barbie is exploited by Mattel. She wears a bikini, she shows off her belly, has big breasts, and even has a boyfriend," she said.


OH MY GOD! SHE HAS A BOYFRIEND????????????

Clearly, the ultimate in exploitation.

Guess we know what side of the boat Ms. Schwarz is rowing on.(*)










(*)I have no idea what that really means, I just thought it up and it sounded cool.

Well, Barbie has no nipples and so she couldn't nurse a baby which maybe explains why she never had children, and we all know if a woman doesn't have babies that she is a big flaming dyke. So the artist was simply putting two and two together to come to the conclusion that barbie is a femme lesbo.

I bet the idea of Barbie being a lesbo turns you on.

bullshit, Barbie is a fuckin ho. at least she dresses like one.

Like Chappelle said, she might not be a ho but she's wearing a ho's uniform

Mattel soooo doesn't want to know what my Barbie's were up to when I was a kid.

I hate Barbie that bitch has everything. :lol

Saturday night live portrayed Ken as gay. And I recall watching an episode of Robot Chicken that wasn't very flattering to Barbie either.

Why are they targeting this work?

Ken has no genitalia. Neithe does Barbie. I don't see how sex is an issue.

Ken has no genitalia. Neithe does Barbie. I don't see how sex is an issue.So Ken's pretty much like a barbie.. without boobs.
