woudl be even MORE controversial if the reg. price was that different.

Hey, capitalism at work, black barbie ain't flying off the shelves, clearance it goes.

Are we gonna start some type of hair-brained affirmative action crap to solve this stupid dilemma?

I think I smell Jesse Jackson, maybe Al jumping on this one...

WTF? You buy #$%* to sell, it doesn't sell, you put it on sale.

Who cares if it's "black barbie"?

Not that I like Walmart, but what the hell, people? It's not Walmarts fault that black barbie isn't selling.

They bought it, they can sell it for whatever they like. Hell, they can throw them in the furnace if it looks like it's going to cost them more to keep them around than just get rid of them and write them off as a loss at the end of the year. If this happened, would they be given crap for "burning black barbies"? "Walmart is racist because OMG THEY BURNED BLACK BARBIES!!!11oneoneone"

C'mon, people, being PC has gone way beyond absurd. Now it's downright malignant.

I am not going one way or the other, but it was funny to see it made the actual news, when it started as a picture on a joke site and went to a blog from there.

There's no 'way' to go.

It's an item.

It's for sale.

It has nothing to do with race.

Period.

Well I think there is a way to go, people are getting riled about it already.

Alright. Sure, stepping in front of a train is a 'way' to go, so is petting a rattlesnake.
That doesn't mean that either of those are logical. Just because you can do something doesn't mean it's a reasonable  option.

Hey, I'm with you dude. I thought it was funny, was not trying to start some huge debate about how stupid the left wing bleeding liberal hearts are. More trying to point out how desperate the news is to stir the pot.

[mlinder]

Yeah, I wasn't referring to you, I was referring to the people who want to make this a racial issue.

[HavocTurbo]

Yea well screw you both....

My cousin's sister's boyfriend's aunt's neighbor was black and they'd be appalled at your lack of concern for other doll races.

Bestial Heathens.

If Jesus did exist, do you think he was white? Walking around the fertile crescent 2000 years ago with blond hair and blue eyes?

[mlinder]

Pretty sure he was an alien.

I'm guessing light green.

[Duke McDukiedook]

Naw, he was definitely a grey.

[mlinder]

Naw, he was definitely a grey.

I thought the greys were 'bad'.

Yes of course, they had a large Swedish community there. Everybody knows that.
