A Greenpeace activist dressed as Barbie was detained by police
outside a Mattel office building in El Segundo due to a protest over
manufacturing in the Indonesian rainforest.
"Barbie" was detained by El Segundo cops. According to Lieutenant
Scott Doukakis with the El Segundo Police Department, as many as nine to
10 people were involved with the protest. Three had been detained so
far, with four others on the building itself.
Protesters hung a banner over the Mattel building with a photo of an
angry Ken that read
"Barbie, It's Over; I don't date girls that are into
deforestation."
Greenpeace activists say that Barbie doll packaging uses material from the Indonesian rainforest.
There was also a pink bulldozer parked outside the Mattel building.

They had a budget for a pink bulldozer, but couldn't think of a better way to protest without getting busted?
totally agree.. I doubt a flimsy banner, or getting arrested will get them much attention.. but hopefully it's a start.
on the plus side, it's a great euphamism.. a pink bulldozer is banging down Barbie's front door.
it was crossroads.
she would have a pink bulldozer
