Barbie's a Whore Anyway

Can we all just agree that parody is a good thing? Companies that whine about this shit piss me off. "Oh, you can't make fun of our beloved Barbie like that. Think about the children!" Well, now the time is ripe for some more fun since THIS DECISION was made in the courts.
U.S. District judge Ronald Lew, in a written ruling, said Mattel had forced Forsythe into a costly court battle.
"There was little risk of consumer confusion ... Defendant's parodic intent was clear," he wrote.
Well done Judge!
