 Barbie's overnight conversion: Talk about having Shiksappeal. The Saudi Arabian government has declared two things -- one we already knew and one which shocked us. The thing we already knew? Barbie dolls are hot. The thing we didn't know? The six-inch blond bombshell is Jewish. According to the religious police's Web site, the "Jewish" doll is a threat to all things moral. "Jewish Barbie dolls, with their revealing clothes and shameful postures, accessories and tools are a symbol of decadence to the perverted West. Let us beware of her dangers and be careful," said a poster on the site.
Wait, Barbie is Jewish? Man, there go the hormone-riddled adolescent fantasies of every Bar Mitzvah-age boy in America.
