Free Barbie, Now a Hostage. Captain Kirk Responds

Iran cracked down on Barbie dolls. If you remember my post from several months ago, I told you about how Barbie has become a terrorist.

Now, she has been seized and is a hostage in several cities in Iran.

Free Barbie. We do not have any information as to what she was wearing at the time of the abduction, but she may have been in the retro Pan-Am stewardess uniform.

Update: Captain Kirk, Spock and Uhura Barbie have entered the search.

Barbie dolls: strictly forbidden -- they contradict Islamic values.

"Iran cracks down on Barbie dolls," from Trend, September 8 (thanks to Lachlan):

Head of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Gudance in Iran's Lorestan Province Ali Esmailian said that import of Barbie dolls in Iran is forbidden because they contradict Islamic values and Iranian culture, ISNA reported today.

Esmailian said that all Barbie dolls are being seized.

He did not explain what Barbie dolls do with Islamic values or Iranian culture exactly, but argued that launching a campaign against Barbie dolls is aimed to prevent foreign influence tricks in Iran.

Iranian conservative government fights against any sign of what they call "western values and cultural invasion".

Iranian Police closed dozens of shops which were selling Barbie dolls in January 2012.

Barbie is a fashion doll manufactured by the American toy-company Mattel, Inc. and launched in March 1959.

There are also some computer Barbie games for children. Esmailian said that these games should be prevented and the sellers of these kinds of games would be punished.

I am so glad I am a Catholic.
