Breno Cosa and Guilherme Souza created the 2011 Matchbox Barbie Calendar which features two dolls, naked, posing for the camera like they’re sexy. Or as the artists claim, they made the calendar to show that “sex is used to sell everything in society.” Well, Mattel ain’t buying that line and the two students at the Brother Ad School in Buenos Aires are now being sued. Mattel’s spokeswoman, Dr. Stephanie Wegener, said, “We don’t want Barbie portrayed in this way, especially with our logo.” But you know what I think is more messed up? White Barbie comes with plastic panties built-in for modesty, but black Barbie doesn’t. WTF?! [Trend Hunter]
