Dominatrix Barbie

Move over, Astronaut Barbie - there's a new doll in town.

Mattel has released a doll based on a character from the Black Canary comic book, clad in leather, fishnet stockings and thigh-high boots. The doll, to be released in September, has outraged Christian groups, who have dubbed the toy "S&M Barbie."

The group Christian Voice said, "Barbie has always been on the tarty side and this is taking it too far. A children's doll in sexually suggestive clothing is irresponsible - it's filth."

It's not the first time the toy chain has come under fire for releasing sexually suggestive dolls. In 2002, the company launched Catwoman Barbie - dressed head-to-toe in leather and brandishing a whip!

PLUS: Who sent tween models down the runway in fur-trimmed knee-high boots, sashaying to lyrics like, "I like it rough, rough!"

    When I was a child I saw The Little Mermaid and my mother made me an Arial costume with the seashell bikini top and mermaid tail. Looking back on it now I can see that at age 6 I was exposed to sex appeal in a children's character and that has forever scarred me. I hope you note the sarcasm. As a paediatrician with two children I think I turned out okay. I am sure that any child who plays with fishnet barbie won't instantly metamorph into a prostitute.

    The Bratz dolls are all more tartier than this! Barbie is pretty tame compared to them!

    If people really want to complain and comment, just wait 'til they make muslim Barbie in a burqa!! As if kids know what the hell a dominatrix looks like or does anyways! PS. They're mid-calf or knee high boots... not thigh high boots. PPS. I'm Christian, and to me that's just a doll... PPPS. Who really cares?? Obviously you have nothing better to do but complain...
