"The girls we spoke to see Barbie torture as a legitimate play activity, and see the torture as a 'cool' activity," said Agnes Nairn, one of the University of Bath researchers. "The types of mutilation are varied and creative, and range from removing the hair to decapitation, burning, breaking and even microwaving."
Girls like to torture Barbie, according to a new research study.
Which reminds me of Mondo Barbie, created by our friends Richard and Lucinda at Gargoyle. A great read all around, and worth the price of admission for AM Homes "A Real Doll," the ultimate sex with Barbie story.
(Yes, that is a category of story. Or at least it should be.)

So who do you have to talk to around here about a grant to research G.I. Joe mutilation at the hands of little boys? My hypothesis: lighters, firecrackers and hot light bulbs are the prefered method. But I'm not sure. See, that's where the million dollar research grant comes in.
I only know one AM Homes story-- "Adults Alone"-- and it's really pretty good, especially for teaching students about plot.
I know, this comment isn't entertaining at all.
