Gotta love the nypost.

More people are interested in the comparison image than the actual article.


What's the url to the site? :o

Indeed, indeed.

She has "dropped" Ken, so she's on the "available" list again!

See? It is Domain news!

"Divorce Barbie" is great. She comes with all of Ken's accessories, the house, the car, and you get a monthly check.

Seriously though, coming at the same time as the class action suit to pay for testing kids from all of the lead tainted crap that Mattel's been selling, there is certainly something obscene going on.

Surely the Board at Mattel must be furious that all the bad press they are getting!

But I would like to know how a porn star has 'diluted' the image of a small plastic doll?

Market:
Barbie Doll is for young girls (generally) between the ages of 3 and 12 (I guess):
Barbie porn star is for men (generally) of the age 13 and 110 (again I guess)

Image
Barbie doll's image is as a tacky toy that you have to dress:
Barbie porn star is as an expensive toy you want to undress (or otherwise)

Branding
Only Mattel bring about the awareness of Barbie the porn star, I just wish I had shares in that film company before these legal moves, I bet the sales have gone through the roof!
Barbie the porn star will likely now release a record that will enter the Top 10 of the charts, the only branding here is by Mattel.

I would like to bet that the fees Barbie charges now per film have shot up through the roof since this went public!

Hmm, I wonder if she would wear a t-shirt, or anything else, with one of my domain names on it?

Mattel wants the income that the porn site has earned! That's lame.

Just get the domain!

I reckon a judge should ask Mattel to publish the name of a porn film their Barbie has made so as to prove their case that the defendant has diluted their brand!

Question, is Barbie Mattel going to have a boob job, is the plastic doll going to get siliconed?

That is one of the funniest comments I have read on this forum in months and only from the mind of the honorable J. Berryhill.
