Protesters Target Barbie Dreamhouse

Demonstrators protest in front of the Barbie Dream House in Berlin today. It probably wasn't the reception Barbie was hoping for at the start of her European tour. Feminist protesters burned a doll on a cross and left-wing demonstrators shouted "pink stinks" at the Berlin opening of a life-sized Barbie house today. They far outnumbered Barbie fans who came to see the Mattel toy's fictional Malibu home. The "Barbie Dreamhouse" in Berlin is the second such theme house after a similar one opened recently in Florida. It will remain in the German capital until August before going on tour around Europe.

Question: Do you -- or someone in your family -- own a Barbie?
