This made me laugh. A conservative Christian group made a big deal over a Black Canary Barbie doll. They 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”. The doll, is dressed in a costume which debuted in Bird of Prey - a black leather jacket, high-heeled boots and fishnet stockings. Here's a link to the whole story. http://www.newsarama.com/comics/080718-BCBarbie.html
Black Canary
Character » Black Canary appears in 3280 issues.
Dinah Lance was born into a family of crime fighters; her mother was a vigilante and her father is a cop. She grew up with the company of heroes, and after years of training, followed in her parent's footsteps by assuming the costume, identity, and legacy of her mother Dinah Drake, the Black Canary.

"How many 13 year old boys will buy that just to open the zipper of the doll are uncountable..."lmfao
o.O they all look fine to me.... Although I dont remember her skin haveing resembalance to sour cream...
I saw the doll on FOXNEWS last night.Of course they made fun of it...I'm so mad at these f#ckin christian groups.They are always b#tchin about stuff that doesn't mean anything.
People live to whine. So when they cant whine any longer about the war on terror they whine about this
Pathetic
I heard they said something like it was "trash." I'm assuming it's the fishnet stockings. I personally don't care for fishnet stockings in real life. It's funny that if you wear them, that automatically implies something. Wonder if the protest groups are aware that Dinah is even a married woman now.

These objectors give Christianity a bad name. The suggestion is no Christian woman would wear leather jackets or fishnet stockings. I happen to know Christian women who wear both - sometimes together, sometimes seperately - totally because it is what they want to wear. What anyone else thinks about their appearance is totally irrelevant.
"Of course these complaints dont apply to christian strippers right/"No such thing in their opinion.
Thats kind of sad....
With all the stuff going on youd think they would find somthing more useful to do then b!tch about a barbie that only collectors will buy
I just don't see the problem here... there are already Black Canary dolls out there, but no, people have to object to a Barbie one...
and for anyone that's interested, why are people complaining about this one when the Catwoman Barbie that got released was so much worse...
this is just another example of how Politically Correct the world is getting... makes me sick

FUCKIN* CHRISTIAN BULLSHI*
Barbie is a total sham and should be bloody banned but how can they complain when BRATZ dolls that embody everything a little girl with half a brain SHOULD NOT aspire too are fun and selling well!!
Ive said it before and i will say it again, Religion has absolutley no place in normal life.

Why do you say political correctness is a bad thing?

I remember hearing about this on the radio when it first came out. They were complaining about it and were completely clueless that it had anything to do with superheroes. They just thought it was a slutty Barbie.
