My daughter might want one of these, so she can videotape the explosion…
“The best thing you can do with a Barbie is strap a rocket to her pink a**!”
Can you tell she is not into girly things?
There are a variety of reasons why I wouldn’t buy one of these for my daughter. One is that I am sure it would be given a bath within 24 hours thus destroying the camera, and two failing the bath it would become a dog toy for my two rotties and finally because it is just too damned expensive. By the way you have a great place here. A friend of mine told me about it. I’m in the Army stationed in Japan by the way so you have a far-reaching influence.
For a variety of reasons, it seems that a gift of a regular Barbie, along with a standard hidden camera, would likely be just as effective for pedophiles, so I don’t see a great risk there.
That said, I can see kids setting this up to “spy” on their parents (including their intimate moments), or to secretly record other kids and then post those videos online, which brings the Tyler Clementi case to mind–even if those videos aren’t sexual in nature, kids can be cruel, and there’s a lot of potential for this to be used as another mechanism for bullying. Either way, there is no way this is good for kids.
I have to agree with you GL. This is less of a danger from pedophiles than it is of would be child CIA wanna be. I can see it now, mommy and daddy getting it on on the family Face Book page. Or, on the other hand, the girls who have been sexting their young boyfriends can now send them videos. Everyone first thinks of the innocent little girls when there isn’t a chance in hell that a pedophile would ever get the toy back from the kid (unless it was the daddy who was the dirty old man).
Thanks, Lazer. That’s exactly what I was thinking–a family member would have access to rigging a camera on their own, hidden in a doll or not, and anyone outside of the family would have to run through the trouble of convincing the kid to have the recorder on and to return it to them afterward (or give it to a kid who didn’t realize it was a camera, and then somehow get it back) without the parents finding out. Still, there is ample potential for other kinds of mischief with this.
Thanks for the response. 🙂
Oh this is wrong on so many levels, for little kids.
Pedo-Barbie?!? Gross! That one mom has it right. Kids young enough to play with Barbie do not have any sense of appropriate boundaries. So who is this intended for?
