But since my wife and I have agreed that Barbie has no place in our house for all kinds of other reasons, that doesn't mean that much.

I guess I don't see much reason to be shocked … Barbie, feeding terrible ideas to young girls for years about body image and materialism (to say nothing of hanging onto that loser Ken!) is now getting a tattoo?

It seems like just the thing she'd do.
