I can say with all certainty, that this is my worst work in years. I take all the blame, I did not put much effort into it.

But really, I hate those Bratz dolls. Has America gone mad? They are trying to convince their young ladies to dress like sluts, act like 'brats', and they place a stereotype of woman that is just gross.

At least Barbie didn't dress like them, and cares for other things than 'fashion' (even if she still followed the girly stereotype, it's a healthy one!)

I've heard 'they're for teens' as excuse for the Bratz. But let's be bold: little girls are the ones who buy these things, and more often than before, I'm seeing girls from seven to eleven years in the streets, using mini-skirts and shirts that barely cover their not-yet-developed chests

And let's face it: they mess with baby toys, and they must be very wrong in the head. I approve of the cute little toys shaped as babies that you need to feed and talk to and stuff, but a baby with a ' passion for fashion'? That's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I am fairly sure that kids bellow the age of ten shouldn't be pushed into the thought they need to be pretty and have a boyfriend to fullfill their lives. Teenage pregnancy, anyone?

Of course, NO ONE should have the idea that 'being pretty and having boyfriend' is the most important goal in life. Because it is not, or else just few people would be happy, and in a shallow way. We're all kinda ugly, you know? Inside or outside, we're ugly someway somewhere. Doesn't mean we can't be beautiful and happy in other ways than the physical.

BRATZ, and their overly-inflated lips and huge eyes, scare me, and just yesterday I heard my little cousin saying she got one from Santa Claus. I pray for her to just like them because she thinks they are cute or something,a nd that she does not imitate them. I hope, if I ever have a daughter, these things have died by the time she's learnt to talk and ask Santa Claus for things she'd like.

I'm ranting. I agree this is just a doll, and it's dumb to argue about it. I just want to state my thoughts in the matter. We all know that sex is a good seller, and by allowing the dolls to be only focused on clothes and boyfriends, and to have them use slutty clothes, we only allow the world to take the minds of our young children. Our young, FEMALE children.

Are we letting ourselves, the females, be turned into the 'weak gender' by allowing the world to see us as just simple-minded, shallow, sex symbols? Perhaps.

Are we letting ourselves be turned into the 'weak gender' by allowing our young girls to turn themselves into simple-minded, shallow, sex symbols? More than likely.

If you're a BRATZ fan, feel free to hate me. And please, do try to give a reason for hating me, not just 'I hate you' comments.

Why do you like bratz, and why should mean people like me stop flaming them? At least we have reasons, give us yours.
