“Bratz Worst”


A federal jury has rejected the Mattel toy company’s claim to ownership of the Bratz dolls.  Instead of siding with Mattel or rival MGA Entertainment, the jury decided that the Bratz look so slutty that everyone should get a piece.

The Brats dolls are famous for their bold make-up and short skirts, raising questions of whether their style is appropriate for young girls.  The lawsuit isn’t helping, teaching girls that its glamorous and exciting to be bought and sold for money, fought over, seen as an object, and as plastic as possible.
