Shouldn’t this be in The Onion? Barbie Deemed Threat to Saudi Morality:

The Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, as the religious police are officially known, lists the dolls on a section of its Web site devoted to items deemed offensive to the conservative Saudi interpretation of Islam.

‘Jewish Barbie dolls, with their revealing clothes and shameful postures, accessories and tools are a symbol of decadence to the perverted West. Let us beware of her dangers and be careful,’ said a poster on the site.

Jewish Barbie dolls? Yeah, clearly she’s Jewish.
