Toymaker bids to shut down 'porno Barbie' site
Toymaker Mattel went to court to declare that the name of its clean-cut Barbie dolls does not belong on a model’s pornographic website.
In a lawsuit filed in US District Court in Manhattan, Mattel said the website for an adult entertainer named China Barbie had tried to benefit from Mattel’s success with the 48-year-old line of dolls, which includes Barbie’s sister, Skipper, her best friend Midge, and Skipper’s boyfriend Kevin.
