If you did the same study on the Barbie Doll as Bath University in England today, would it be the same results?

As a grown woman who collects Barbies, old and new, I think that perhaps once one person was ripping apart the shapely skinny doll, others thought, hey why not. I don't think this study should be taken seriously and Barbie is American and more of a culture icon in America since 1959. My cousin still has her 1959 original Barbie. I'm so jealous. ;-) So, would they see things differently seven years later due to natural and financial disaster? Probably not. Barbie is bashed as being unrealistic and not like real women. I think they'd still see her as not something to collect, but something that is an unrealistic view of women. American women or many, not all, tend to see her as an American Icon. I just don't think they would change the way they see Barbie and perhaps they would rip her apart even worse, since America seems to be blamed for everything. I doubt they would see her as helping them out of their situation or as a collectible. In bad times, collector's things are worth less and not more. 2005 wasn't a great year either. Nothing has been great since the late 1990's.
