Barbie maker Mattel created the Barbie interactive dollhouse to market the iconic toy doll. Inside the pink-saturated house, girls are invited to visit Barbie’s rooms and travel through the mansion by one of two routes: one that allows the girl to pretend she has become a fashion model, and another that makes her a pop star. The aspiring models strut on a mini-catwalk while the young divas sing on a small stage. The 200 protesters of what's been dubbed “Occupy Barbie Dreamhouse” believe that Barbie encourages young girls to focus on looks rather than careers. "It would be a huge danger for capitalism if working men and women were united, so one of the best ways to divide and conquer the workers is by enabling men to over-sexualize women and by preoccupying women with sexualizing themselves," said group leader Michael Koschitzki, 27 years old, at the demonstration. Others dismiss the perceived dangers to young girls’ self-image. “Can you show me that [Barbie has] really held back society with all the positive changes for women?" asked a father, visiting the Dreamhouse with two daughters.

I saw this story and some of the pics of men in dresses........
My comments are as follows:
1. Do they force people to go in there? 2. If they don't......just don't go. 3. Do they picket Toy Stores with Barbies? 4. Do any of these people have jobs....why do they have all this picketing time?

There are a lot of unpaid "professional demonstrators" in Germany. Usually useless deadbeats that no one wants to hire and protesting makes them feel important! The labor unions will bus these types in and give them a meal, if that makes their demonstrations bigger.
