Dominatrix Barbie
A new doll angers Christian groups
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!
