Judge refuses to ban kinky Barbie

Barbie’s kinky reincarnation by English doll maker angered toy manufacturer Mattel, which has been producing wholesome versions of the shapely blond American icon for more than 40 years.

In a bid to end Barbie’s X-rated activities, Mattel took doll maker Susanne Pitt to court in New York, saying her sale of a “dungeon doll” made with the head of Superstar Barbie infringed its copyright.
