Burka-Barbie

50-års jubilæet for en af de mest kontroversielle stykker legetøj nogensinde, Barbiedukken bliver fejret ved at udsende en ny version - i en burka.
One of the world's most famous children's toys, Barbie, has been given a makeover - wearing a burkha.

Wearing the traditional Islamic dress, the iconic doll is going undercover for a charity auction in connection with Sotheby's for Save The Children.

The company director of Laird Assessors from The Wirral, Cheshire, said: 'Bring it on Burkha Barbie, I think this is a great idea.

'I think this is really important for girls, wherever they are from they should have the opportunity to play with a Barbie that they feel represents them.



Det forlyder ikke hvorvidt Ken også vil komme i en ny version. Man kunne forestille sig en pakkeløsning: Én Ken med fire Barbier. Lige til at lægge under juletræet... Nåe nej.
