Middle East: Islamic Doll Kicks Barbie's Ass
Children around the world still long to play with toys, and in the Middle East, there is a new sensation - a doll like Barbie, called Fulla. But unlike that decadent western slut Barbie, Fulla is a good Muslim girl. She even comes with her own prayer mat to prove it! And it is PINK! She comes in a pink box already wearing a black abaya and headscarf. For the rest of her "fun and extensive" wardrobe, one must buy separately. According to a fun article from Arizona Central, originally from the NYT, Fullah is now the biggest selling girl's doll in the Middle East. In Syria, Barbie has all but vanished from the toy stores.
Invented in 2003 by NewBoy Design Studio, Fulla is so popular in countries such as Jordan, Egypt, Syria and Qatar that she advertises her own breakfast cereals, chewing gums and bicycles. Though there are no plans for her to have a boyfriend like Ken, there will soon be two additional dolls, a Dr Fulla and a Teacher Fulla. Fawaz Abidin, of NewBoy Design, explains Fulla's appeal:
"Our advertising is full of positive messages about Fulla's character. She's honest, loving and caring, and she respects her father and mother."How sweet. Soon, I suspect, Lisa Simpson will be forgetting all about Malibu Stacey, and clutching a new hijab-wearing plastic muslimah.

Hmmm...does this Muslim doll have Barbie's very strange physical characteristics? I mean the pointy boobs and the legs so long she looks like she's on stilts?
That is one weird doll.Fortunately, she gave my daughter the creeps so we never had to go thru that phase.
