CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Barbie could get an unwelcome present for her 50th birthday: outlawed in West Virginia.


A state lawmaker proposed a bill Tuesday to ban sales of the iconic Mattel doll and others like her.

The proposal from Democratic Delegate Jeff Eldridge said such toys influence girls to place too much importance on physical beauty, at the expense of their intellectual and emotional development.

"Basically, I introduced legislation because the Barbie doll, I think, gives emphasis on if you're beautiful, you don't have to be smart," Eldridge said.

Good tax payer dollars being spent on this very important issue.

He needs to outlaw dyeing your goatee a different color from your hair.Only queers and fancy boys do that.

I think that guy is just doing this for the publicity.

Did you hear Avery got picked up (half price) by the Rangers?This should be awesome! Tortorella and AVERY? If Avery does shoot his mouth off, we're in for some fireworks.

Maybe they'll strangle each other in a naked locker room brawl - and the NHL will lose two of the biggest meat heads in the league. Don't ask why tortorella would be naked in the locker room - he just would.

How toned were their buttocks in your fantasy?

If I was to own one Hockey jersey it would be Averys.

Those might be half price too.

I don't know - I was too busy watching their dicks knock together. :drool:













Okay, now I just threw up a little.

I was listening to them talk about Avery on the Fan 960 yesterday. They said there is varying degrees of support for Avery in the hockey watching community (i.e., people like Bird who are entertained by his antics) but no one who has ever played in the or worked for NHL supports him and his return to hockey. I guess that's why I am less enamoured with him - where hockey is so iconic (like here), you start to feel a kindred spirit with the sporstmanship of the game and the respect for fellow players, much more so than the casual fan who can take it or leave it.

There are more casual fans then hardcore ones so the league needs him.He got sent to the media capital of the world for a reason.

I don't like Avery. I think he's a punk who has nothing behind him but his mouth. If he'd close it long enough to make some sort of impact in the NHL - people might be less concerned with what comes out of him when he does open it.

It's no fantastic feat to end your NHL career slowly by slandering other players and their families. Maybe if he'd done something noteable aside from his antics - people would like him more, and players would be more willing to put up with him.

Maybe down there it is - but you're hard pressed here to find a 'casual' fan. You either live and breathe hockey here, or you hate it.

We as in the US drives the league.No us as in US no league.All the players would go to Europe if we didnt support it.You'd have a nice minor league that would be entertaining but it wouldnt be world class level.

I read an article recently about how the NBA had to take a 150 million loan out to cover the next few lean years and one executive was quoted as saying something like if you think the NBA is in trouble take a look at the NHL.He predicted 7 or 8 NHL franchises would shut down in the next 3 years.You guys need all the hype you can get.

I'm not denying any of that - but I am just saying the reason Avery lacks support up here, is because there aren't many casual fans here. You won't find many people here who approve of him - regardless of what he brings for the nhl media wise.
