Kind of surprised they even sell Barbies there...but it sure wouldn't surprise me if they start selling Burka-wearing Barbies here.

Iran’s morality police told stores to remove the dolls in favor of government approved ones that are traditionally dressed in garments like burkas and long overcoats. This, officials said, would protect citizens from the evils of Western influence. Kids, however, reportedly don’t want the dolls because they’re “ugly.”

Are they also realistically mutilated?  Got to let those little Islamic girls know whats coming!  Maybe a Ken, er Muhammad doll that can beat and rape her would be educational as well.  Must do it right!

Yeah, really why bother. Isn't playing with toys against scuzlam or something? Anything that would put a smile on the face aside from shooting AK 47's into the air is strictly forbidden by allah.
