As most of you probably already know, Mattel has revamped Dora the Explorer. And the result, above, is basically Dora the Bratz Doll.
As I have said before, it is never to early for a girl to learn what will really make her popular in this world. And we all know that a girl has to be pretty to be popular.
Even sites marketed to smart women always bring up that you can be smart AND pretty. Really, I can? Thank you! Now how about you let me not justify my existence by being f*ckable at all costs!
Not that this brings up any issues in me or anything.
Yes, did a little research on the matter a while back: http://podblack.com/?p=1030
Got issues much Heidi! If you really checked out the old Dora, she had a freakish large head that was shaped like a football. She needed help! And she was popular before the make-over, thank-you!
Susan has a point – Dora’s head was twice as big as Diego’s and everyone else in her family. Freakishly large was a good way to put it! Though not sure I like the new design so much – looks too anime for my taste. Glad my kids have moved onto Charlie and Lola. Just normal looking cartoon kids who are smart and adventurous.
