Warning!

OMG! I came across this article yesterday and found it extremely disturbing, take your time and read it, and tell me what you think.

Shocking Things Girls Do to Barbie Dolls
If your daughter's Barbie doll has been scalped or beheaded--and you know her brothers are not to blame this time--do not be alarmed. It turns out that when girls outgrow their Barbie dolls, torturing them is commonplace.

That's the peculiar conclusion researchers at Great Britain's University of Bath reached after questioning approximately 100 children about their attitudes to a range of products as part of a study on branding. "The girls we spoke to see Barbie torture as a legitimate play activity and see the torture as a 'cool' activity," Agnes Nairn, one of the researchers, told The Associated Press. "The types of mutilation are varied and creative and range from removing the hair to decapitation, burning, breaking and even microwaving." Of all the products the researchers discussed with the kids, Barbie provoked the strongest reaction--and it was overwhelmingly negative with children reporting rejection, hatred and violence.

"The meaning of 'Barbie' went beyond an expressed antipathy; actual physical violence and torture towards the doll was repeatedly reported quite gleefully, across age, school and gender," Nairn explained to AP. Boys didn't have the same reaction to their action dolls; they felt nostalgia and affection instead. Nairn thinks renouncing Barbie is a rite of passage for many girls, who see the doll not as a treasured toy, but rather as an inanimate object. "The most readily expressed reason for rejecting Barbie was that she was babyish, and girls saw her as representing their younger childhood out of which they felt they had now grown," she told AP. "Whilst for an adult the delight the child felt in breaking, mutilating and torturing their dolls is deeply disturbing, from the child's point of view they were simply being imaginative in disposing of an excessive commodity in the same way as one might crush cans for recycling."

What was Mattel's response to the Barbie mutilation trend? A spokesperson for Mattel U.K. told AP that despite the findings of "this very small group of children, we know that there are millions of girls in the U.K. and across the world that love and enjoy playing with Barbie and will continue to do so in the future." No doubt that's true. Here's an astounding fact, according to Mattel: Three Barbie dolls are sold every second somewhere in the world. End article.

And girls say that guys are weird!!! Tell me guys have you ever heard of anything more insane then this? So ok, guys do similar things as well, I’m sure I’m not the only guy that owned little army men as a kid and blew off a couple of their arms or legs… But that was war! Heck I might even have torn apart my teddy bears as a kid but it was never an act of revenge, I never wanted to torture the poor thing I mean its as the article goes “. Boys didn't have the same reaction to their action dolls; they felt nostalgia and affection instead.” You hear that girls, write that down please, and remember this the next time you might want to make a “ignorant” comment about how uncaring guys are! And they say girls are the caring ones, sure, if you consider decapitating your Barbie doll friends an act of caring, then I was born into the wrong world…

Ok now here is what’s really scaring me about girls "The most readily expressed reason for rejecting Barbie was that she was babyish, and girls saw her as representing their younger childhood out of which they felt they had now grown,"

Long story short (if that’s possible at this point) imagine this…

A guy and a girl get married and they live happily together for 20 years and then C’v for some crazy reason the wife decides that is getting tired of their relationship, maybe she find it boring or maybe she feels like she has OUTGROWN it…

After reading the above article do I need to inform you guys what girls DO to things they have outgrow, and what the might be capable of? “Whilst for an adult the delight the child felt in breaking, mutilating and torturing their dolls is deeply disturbing, from the (girls) child's point of view they were simply being imaginative in disposing of an excessive commodity in the same way as one might crush cans for recycling." (Ok so she might be an adult now, but who is to guarantee that she is fully cured at this point from this madness)

So there it is fellas, don’t say I never warned you, if at some point in your marriage you notice your wife getting bored with you C”V and you see that crazy insane look in her eyes, well then thanks to me you know exactly what she is capable of doing at this point and my advice to you would be to drop whatever you are up too and make a run for the nearest exit and pray you make it out alive WITH YOUR HEAD STILL ON YOUR SHOULDERS!

For all single guys there is still hope! Please note:

"Despite the findings of this very small group of (female) children, we know that there are millions of girls in the U.K. and across the world that love and enjoy playing with Barbie and will continue to do so in the future."

Phew! thank G-d for that, good news guys, there are some normal ones out there, (note to self, this is no longer a reason to be worried about marriage) But still a word of caution from CS to all dating guys, make it a point that by the first or second time out, you ask your “aidel maidel” shidduch date this one specific question “So… what do YOU think of Barbie dolls?”
