Barbie abusersOnce upon a time, Barbie was a wholesome doll that little girls loved and old men fancied. Now however, the plastic fantastic figure is being used and abused by 'artists' and they're getting away with it. San Francisco native Tom Forsythe was recently taken to court by Mattel - manufacturers of the doll - who are deeply upset with the artist for depicting Barbie in sexually explicit positions for a series of postcards. Unfortunately for the toy company, it lost the case as Forsythe defended his actions as "artistic expression" believing Barbie represents gender-oppressive values.
