Can You Guess What’s Wrong With This Picture?

Hey Mattel/Barbie, way to be a positive influence on young girls. “Yes, you can be a nurse or a doctor….but don’t forget your stripper shoes….” Really? COME ON!!

     What’s sad is that is an “I can be” barbie doll. So, its goal is to show little girls what they can be when they grow up. However, with those shoes, it looks like it’s really saying they can just dress up like a sexy nurse/doctor for their partner rather than be a REAL doctor/nurse. Not cool Mattel…not cool.

   Yeeeesh…..that’s all I can say. Do they also make Ken Dolls with a wife on the side and a tan line where his wedding ring should be? Just curious. ; /
