Thoughts?

Good, I guess. As nice is it is to see one of these companies go out of business (minus all the lost jobs of course), a similar product will eventually take their place. For some reason this kind of stuff has a large fan base. Don't see this event making any difference in the longterm.

Well, not really a doll person, but I think this is simply Mattel wanting a monopoly on the market once again, and doing whatever it takes to see that come true. I doubt you'll see Bratz go away though, since the Appellate and California Supreme Court are both likely to overturn his ruling.

We'll see. It just means Bratz sales are likely to jump, as they become hot items on the black market.

I think Bratz are miniature whores, personally. If you take off their clothes, they have painted-on thongs. Is this a good example we should set for young girls? Take Barbie: she's been a doctor, a teacher, royalty, and even an astronaut. She's been in a monogamous relationship for the past 50 years and lives a wholesome life. The Bratz, however, just show girls that fashion and boys are what's in. At least Barbie is ladylike and waits until at least the third date to have sex, but the Bratz have quickies underneath the jungle gym at recess.

They finally got rid of those damn things? YES!!! They were essentially anime Barbies to me (not that I liked Barbie either) but thank GOD because those damn things pissed me off so much. Too bad it took this long to get rid of their freaky ghetto-fied asses.

Thank god! I hate those dolls! I can't believe my niece likes them and I seriously hope this is the last we see of them.
