A friend sent me a link to a new interest group, The Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood. They have problems with a new Burger King ad and marketing to kids in schools.

Their worst toy of the year award went to Dallas Cheerleader Barbie.

“When you combine two classic symbols of gendered stereotypes – the
Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader and Barbie – you get one terrible toy… Do we really want to teach our young daughters that they belong on the
sidelines, not in the game, and the way to get noticed is show a lot of
skin?”

Discuss.
