I heard on the radio this morning that Mattel was “finally” awarded $100 million in the lawsuit against the makers of Bratz dolls. Mattel actually asked for 1.8 billion dollars! You may have heard about this a while ago. Mattel believes the idea for the Bratz dolls was developed while the Bratz designer, Carter Bryant was working with their Barbie dolls - copyright infringement. So, basically Mattel sees it like this: Carter Bryant was busy making Barbies when he looked at one and said, “You know, if I make this doll’s head abnormally large for her body, slap on some whorish makeup, clothes & long stripperish-extentions…we might have something that little girls will DIE for!” Mattel is just mad they didn’t think of it first (just kidding).
I went to ABCNews.com for more details:
“A federal jury awarded toy giant Mattel the damages Tuesday in their copyright infringement lawsuit against MGA, but lawyers for the two playtime powerhouses are still wrangling over whether MGA can continue to make the saucy Bratz line. U.S. District Judge Stephen Larson must also consider whether any of the damages are duplicative before setting a final amount to be paid to Mattel.”
I know many-a-parent who would be thrilled if Bratz dolls were off the shelves. Same with this Kennedy doll. Why so much makeup (first of all)!? I don’t know about you, but I don’t want my daughter playing with “Video-Ho Kennedy.”
