If Barbie is so popular, then why do you have to buy her all her friends?

Sorry, I couldn't resist... ;)

I have a friend with the company name of "Mad About Barbie" who registered madbarbie.com. She just got her site up when the barbie lawers called.

Okay, I'm just kidding around. You're soooo right, projo, Mattel would have their lawyers calling the same day if you used the Barbie and Ken images on a commercial site (like a hosting company).

My apologies to AcuNett for going so off thread with the Barbie jokes.

:blush:

But if someone made it into an adult site and used an image of a Barbie or Ken doll, then yes, there could definitely be a legal challenge.
