Now the commercial does sound offensive, but what's wrong with the idea of the dolls themselves? Hip hop culture is youth culture, and Mattell is only going after the youth market - does anyone remember the "Barbie and the Rockers" dolls that came out in the mid to late 80s? They all had new-wave hair and clothes? The Flava dolls seem (to me) just a variation on the same theme.
