Default Iran takes new shot at Barbie, calling US doll 'destructive'

A top Iranian judiciary official warned against the "destructive" cultural and social consequences of importing Barbie dolls and other Western toys.

"The displays of personalities such as Barbie, Batman, Spiderman and Harry Potter ... as well as the irregular importation of unsanctioned computer games and movies are all warning bells to the officials in the cultural arena.

Barbie is sold wearing swimsuits and miniskirts in a society where women must wear head scarves in public and men and women are not allowed to swim together.

Keep the toys out of Iran, shut their mouths, the US doesn't need their griping nor their money for toys.
