Barbie Tattoos: Countdown to LDS Outrage

Posted // 2009-03-23 -

Finally, after over a half a century of waiting, Barbie has finally been made relevant to today's youth. She can now get the pony or butterfly tramp stamp she's always wanted. That's right Mattel has finally launched it's Totally Stylin' Tattoo Barbie--complete with toy tattoo gun and over 40 tattoos you can place anywhere you want on Barbie's plastic physique--the perfect surface for faux ink.

That's right. Tattoos. On kid's dolls. Coming to a Walmart near you.

Prediction: massive eruption of volcanic moral indignation to sweep across Utah before Easter. Concerned Maude Flanders' of Utah County should commence gettin' their scowl on starting...now!

Currently 3.5/5 Stars.

Being barely three years old, she could hardly even form the sentences to talk about what she was showing the other kids, but they were still suitably impressed.

I can out-outrage you. A few weeks ago I was in Fashion Place Mall. Just dad and boy, the trouble is Boy was 4 years old with a tat of the virgin mary covering his right upper arm.

At first I told myself it was fake, I looked again. And again. Real it was. Thanks dad, you son of a bitch.
