"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."
The closest thing to a tortured barbie picture I could find in my (albeit exceptionally short) internet search.
Recent marketing research has found that young girls tend to mutilate and torture their Barbie dolls. This, I am assuming, is not exactly what Mattel had in mind.
By what Mattel didn't have in mind, I of course mean:
"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,"
really??
The researchers are quick to point out that this is not in fact anti-social behavior, but rather an innocent rite of passage into womanhood.

I am not entirely certain that I would agree with this. However, since their sample group of 100 children seemed to indicate that this behavior is quite widespread I suppose we will just have to accept their conclusions.
Either that or just use it as another excuse to accuse the British of being fucked up.
