Every time Mattel makes a Halloween Witch Barbie there are plenty of nasty comments from the evangelicals. Secret Spells Barbie and Friends was by far the worst offender to date. The very idea of kids mixing up Kool Aid potions had them foaming at the mouth. Same thing with the Wicked Witches and they aren't even for kids, and don't get me started on the furor over pregnant Midge, Earring Magic Ken or the one AA Barbie Basics dress. It's all so absurd. I have the dress that was on the one AA Barbie Basics. There is a lot of cleavage but it is an adult collector's doll. People getting ballistic over a low cut dress on a collector's Barbie doll really need to get a life, IMHO. In real life that dress would have actually been rather conservative for a cocktail party in some places...
