I'm a Barbie girl in a virtual Barbie world
Mattel, the US toymaker that has brought joy and lead paint to
millions of children the world over, has announced that one of its
most popular brands is getting a makeover.
"Representing the true evolution of what today's girl loves and
opening the door to how tomorrow's girl will play," the company has
announced BarbieGirls.com, the first global virtual world of its
kind, designed exclusively for, well, girls.
BarbieGirls lets girls create their own highly personalised
virtual world with a level of fun that is second to none, including
shopping, chatting, watching a movie or "just hangin".
Sounds like Germaine Greer's life's work has all been in vain,
doesn't it?
