A.M.A.: Bratz Dolls "gateway drug" to marrying men with neck tattoos

Researchers in the United States have recently discovered a surprising statistic wherein women who played with Bratz Dolls as children were 4 times more likely to marry a man with a neck tattoo, compared to those who played with Barbies or other dolls. They were also twice as likely to marry men with mullets, and 7 times more likely to have "huffed" something in order to catch a buzz. While some might call these findings shocking, Trixie LaRue, president and founder of Bratz Dolls Inc, defended her company and her dolls. "Well, at least they're getting married," said LaRue on the Howard Stern radio show. "Bratz Dolls teach 8 year olds how to catch a man. Not every girl is going to grow up to be Suzy Scientist and girls need to know there are other ways to get ahead in life besides brains. Ever since they pulled 'Stripper Barbie' off the shelves young girls have had no way to hone their feminine wiles. Before Bratz Dolls how many 6 year olds knew what thigh high leather boot were, much less how to zip one up?"
    Ms. LaRue then discussed the upcoming fall line of dolls, which included Belle Limia, "What's this sore?" Jua Q'ina, and "Pseudoephedrine Hoarding" Holly. LaRue proudly admitted the new line was really pushing the envelope. "They're Bratz Dolls, what did you expect? " As for the detrimental effects the dolls may have on young girls LaRue was a bit more defensive. "You show me a person with a collection of Bratz Dolls, I'll show you Bristol Palin. Show me a person with a collection of Barbies, I'll show you Liberace."
