    I guess I'm not clear...

    ...on why these dolls would be a problem, while the Bratz dolls are everywhere. Is it because while the Bratz dolls promote a really weird kind of tween sexual image they do so while also promoting consumerism (like Barbie), while the Pussycat Dolls Dolls would not have enough accessories to teach young girls that happiness only comes from buying clothes, purses and shoes?

    Can somebody give me a hand here?
