One of the world's most famous children's toys, Barbie, has been given a makeover - wearing a burkha.
Wearing the traditional Islamic dress, the iconic doll is going undercover for a charity auction in connection with Sotheby's for Save The Children.
More than 500 Barbies went on show yesterday at the Salone dei Cinquecento, in Florence, Italy.
'I think this is really important for girls, wherever they are from they should have the opportunity to play with a Barbie that they feel represents them.To follow up on its Islamist theme, the scuttlebutt is Mattel is going to follow-up with other politically correct toys:
'I know Barbie was something seen as bad before as an image for girls, but in actual fact the message with Barbie for women is you can be whatever you want to be.
Killed By Her Father Because She wore Western Clothes Barbie
Suicide Bomber Barbie
And to continue along with the theme of Bad Lessons for little girls:
Trans-gender Barbie
Crack Whore Barbie, comes with her own crack pipe
And Murdered Someone During a Liquor Store Holdup Barbie (battery not included)
Congratulations to Mattel, for using Political Correctness to make their product such a great lesson for the youth of the world.
