Garbble. The dolls are not being targetted to middle schoolers. Maybe a little, but their main target, the bull's eye, is the younger ones. The ones who would still be playing with baby dolls and Barbies. The 6-12 year olds.
I have a lot more respect for Barbie. She may dress a little skanky too, but she's always had better goals to teach the kids. She's been a astronaut, a doctor, etc., etc. The most the Bratz dolls will ever live up to are things like gothic hookers and belly dancers.
Hah, Nate, about the belly fat/hipsters problem. If the girls can not fulfill one of those, they tend to compensate that by trying to do even more of the latter two. Then you just have more squishy girls with more make-up, more revealing clothes, etc.
