"Video Girl" Barbie: Is This a Bad Idea?
At first glance, Barbie's new necklace screams serious bling. But upon closer scrutiny, you'll see there's a video camera embedded in the ruby, which can record up to 30 minutes of footage. Is Mattel running out of accessory ideas? No, it's all part of Barbie's new gig -- "Video Girl". You go, girl. Only problem is, this seems wildly inappropriate to some parents. A psychologist in Australia is leading a boycott of the product, claiming Barbie's covert camera will allow adults to exploit children, and will allow kids to upload inappropriate videos on the internet.
