    Not only that, it's rampant plagiarism. Or did they have a notice
    saying, "We wish to thank Mattel Corp. for their gracious permission
    blah blah"? They didn't make the dolls, or even think about it, they
    "stole" them. OK, the recent Barbie thing (It's here, too) is cute, 
to
    some (not to my taste, but who cares?), but does anybody in the
    juror/curator/arbiter of what is displayed dept. actually think? It's
    the very definition of plagiarism. Picking up a rock (again) is one
    thing. Taking someone else's art and plugging it into "your own" (as
    though that's art) is unconscionable.
