Are men going to buy this to drool over a doll? Creepy ...

Ken most certainly will.

Interesting and risky move on SI's part. Isn't their target market grown men who like looking at grown women in swimsuits? How is this cover going to capture that?

I hope they aren't trying to get the younger girls to purchase the mag.

They were very good in 'Toy Story'.

I find it humorous. It's a toy. Reminds the males of when females are young and desirable.

I find it rather humorous too. I'm sure there are plenty of real girls inside and no men will be fooled by Barbie.

SI probably thought it would be a little lighthearted fun. I don't think the concept of the swimsuit issue was ever about anyone being a role model. No problem for me. It is what it is.

Since when does being on the cover of SI make someone a role model, Barbie or otherwise?

[AngelPuppy1]

I think it's funny and kinda cute! Ha!!!

[Wild Cherry]

Oh please! Nobody thinks of Barbie as a role model!
