Who controls what answers Bimbo will give my child?
What is their political view, religious believe, general moral standpoints? Apart from a clearly commercial agenda?
Educational material needs careful review- not given here...
Scary.
... until they are too old for barbies. Period!
Our kids do play with tablets, and Skype with grandma, but under our supervision, and with our credentials. They will not have their own online credentials before they out of grade school, and even then only tightly monitored.
We don't post their pictures on Facebook, Twitter etc., and not anywhere else either.
Call me paranoid- but as a parent I owe my children the best protection from any harm I can give them. I make sure they wear helmets and seat belts, know where to go and where not, and how to safely use hammer and screwdriver- again, under supervision.
Not only should the online world be treated the same, but with even more caution.
Besides the simple fact that the "Hello Bimbo" doll is a horrible idea. An actually speaking doll is the bast way to kill a child's imagination and creativity...
The only way of protest is to boycott the event. Period.
Not at the ballots, _here_ is where democracy is executed: you vote with your feet.
Too small a nuisance to miss the event? You just stated your priorities, so shut up and suck it up, you deserve no better than that, and all that comes from it.
