SCOTT SIMON, HOST:
This week, Iranian the coppers took Barbie dolls from shelves across the country and closed dozens of toy shops for selling the iconic American fascination doll. Iran's government news agency quoted an unnamed the heat official as saying that they were confiscating Barbies as "manifestations of Western learning." Well, Barbie manifests a lot in her full figure, clingy gowns, and revealing bathing suits. In 1996, an Iranian oversight agency called Barbie the wooden horse of Troy with many cultural invading soldiers up the river it. Wait until they see her glitter-boots and little red sports car. Barbie, of lecture, can lead to Ken and Midge, spangly doll shoes, shimmering dresses; all kinds of other Barbie tackle that many little girls just got to have. When Iranian patrol have apprehended their last Barbie, can they come to our place?
