Little Ho-ho's vs. Barbie
The parent companies of the doll lines Bratz (MGA) and Barbie (Mattel) are throwing down big time in a California courthouse.
The house of Barbie says it's entitled to a big chunk of the estimated $2 billion a year Bratz empire because the whore looking dolls' creator, some guy named Carter Bryant, was an employee of Mattel when he birthed them.
The LA Times reports, that so far, this case has been all about timing.
Bryant was a struggling songwriter when he got a job designing fashions, hair and makeup on the Barbie line at Mattel in 1995 and stayed until April 1998, when he left for the Springfield, Missouri, area to live with his parents. He got a job at an Old Navy store.
Bryant and MGA argue that Bratz came out of the designer's imagination — and he did the key sketches of it — during the Missouri break. Bryant returned to Mattel in January 1999, defecting to MGA in October 2000.
Mattel is pushing the theory that Bryant created Bratz during his second stint at the company.
The battle for the Bratz fortune probably won't be settled ’til July.
We have a feeling that had Bryant pitched the vanilla seeming Barbie folks his ho doll creations, they probably would've rejected it anyways!
Another source reports that MGA has countersued, saying Mattel changed the design of its own My Scene dolls to more closely resemble the Bratz line and used its leverage with retailers to stifle competition.
Funnily, the Bratz creator has said that he was inspired by seeing the clothes worn by students as he drove past Springfield's Kickapoo High School, which is the alma mater of Brad Pitt.
Did the girls Brad used to date look so trannylicious?

I totally went to Kickapoo! LOVE YA PEREZ!
Those dolls are disgusting. I would NEVER let me daughter own one. I'm shocked that people buy these for their little girls. What a terrible message to send kids.

HEY HORSE FACE PEREZ, THERE IS NO SUCH WORD AS "FUNNILY" YOU DIRTY MEXICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Springfield is pretty white trash. Really.
And now Tina's song is in my head.
doesn't the barbie company have enough money?
BARBIE AND BRATZ SUCK.
LITERALLY. HA!
Barbie may have a huge rack- but Bratz have no nose- Look at the pressure they are putting on little girls- NO NOSE??? Ha!
This is not true. The creator was a student at OTIS in Los Angeles at the time, he came up with at as a project. He sold his idea out later.
i agree with FRS. i would never want my little girl going near those skanky dolls.
I absolutely HATE these dolls, they give the worst message to little girls, even worse than Barbie
Yuck, I hate Bratz. Barbie forever!
Bratz aren't that bad, calm down you people.
BUT BARBIE RULES! All others who say otherwise probably were deprived of Barbie, or so ugly, they hate a piece of plastic for being prettier than their ugly asses.
:)
So BACK THE FUCK OFF OF BARBIE.
Re: Yanke –
shut up Barbie's cool
Don't hate on a toy,you dumabss
Mattel is most likely going to win if the dickhead that invented those skankho dolls was employed by them when he applied for the patent.
I hope Bratz goes down. Just in case Barbie wasn't enough, this guy made the skankiest looking dolls on earth. I can't believe parents would buy these baby whore dolls for their kids.
o god mattel just wants to own the entire toy empire. theyre gonna lose this is bullshit
Just what the world needs, besides another generation of Spears,….is animated skanks and sluts in hooker mini-skirts and fuckme pumps.
I Love Barbie, Bratz are slutty whorey dolls.. There heads are way to big and they look like hookers. Barbie has way more class and I love that you used the Legally Blonde Elle Woods doll Perez…
so not fucking surprised with those fucking skank ass ho' bitches that go there. lived in that fucking hellhole for 2 1/2 years and hated every motherfucking minute of that shit. not surprised that Crackhead Ho' Bratz were conceived in fucking Springbilly, Misery!
TEAM BRATZ!
Those Bratz dolls are so ugly! I hope Barbie wins the shit out of those ugly dolls! =)
Totally FRS–Who is buying those hideous Bratz dolls???? Why would anyone pay money for a doll that looks like a slut/hooker for their daughter? I would never in a million years buy one for my daughter. God people are so stupid…
uhh…
more like did his fag-hags look so trannylicious…
I dont get it…does mattel think they own their employees thoughts and imagination?!?! I was working at a super cuts type salon when I dreamed up my own salon …do I owe them $$ now!?!?
I support Barbie all the way!!!!!!
barbie is kinda boring, the fairytopia was a hit and mermadia too, but other than that zzzzzzzzzz
my kid loves the bratz she wont touch barbies
My daughter will never be touching a Bratz doll. They are the skankiest things I have ever seen, it makes the big stink that was kicked up about Barbie's body shape look totally ridiculous now. Barbie is way better. I don't understand why mothers want to buy their children dolls that look like prostitutes.
they are fashionable and full of attitude i love them, barbie is a ok
when i was in 6th grade i was in love with the bratz theyre so much fun
it's highly unlikely that he didn't sign a competition agreement thingy (i'm such an expert, lol) when he was hired at Mattel, so he likely did wrong & will have to pay for it. on a secondary note, what sort of parent buys those fucking hideous bratz dolls for their kids? hookers hoping their daughters will follow in their street walking footsteps? god, those things are hdeous, they look like they've been giving blow jobs for weeks on end, their lips are so swollen and gross.
Re: viv – drop dead you ignorant bitch. i hate perez as much as the next person but what has his ethnicity got to do with anything at all, ever? and he's cuban you fucking dimwit, not mexican.
Bratz are such whores. Barbie has class.
Mattel love to sue; Why? Because Barbie is doing so poorly and no one cares for her Aryan looks anymore. Nasty people hiring nasty lawyers to snatch something they don't deserve. But hey, that's the American way.
I have never allowed my daughter to play with Bratz. She got one as a birthday gift from one of her friends and I got the gift receipt from the mom to return it. It is really hard to explain to grade-schoolers why dolls in full tranny make-up and hair, hooker-esque outfits, and diva attitudes (BRATZ says it all!) are inappropriate. At least Barbie has run for president, been in several Olympics, and has a wide range of careers along with the awesome Dream-house and Townhouse! What potential do the Bratz have, aside from a future full of unplanned teenage pregnancies, STDs, and plastic surgery? What's the message they send-be a skank and let everyone look up your shirt and you, too, can grow up to be a complete twat?? Wait! We already have Paris Hilton for that!!
The girls he dates NOW look trannylicious! Look at Anjelina!
TEAM BARBIE! bratz are getting old. barbie is classic (:
Wait…it's called KICKAPOO high school?! That's embarassing for everyone.
Bratz Dolls look a lot like Angelina Jolie. I honestly think he saw a movie with her in it and probably wanted to create something animated that looked like her. Every time I see a bratz doll, she is the person I think of. Look at them closely. Big lips and the features are the same.
Staci Cole looks like a real life barbie. Angelina Jolie looks like a real life bratz doll.
TEAM BARBIE!
GO BARBIE!!!!
I hate Bratz. My 4 year old knows she isn't allowed to have them because their skirts are too short and their makeup is too thick. They look like Phillipino Transvestite Hookers on a Hot night. Ew.
Re: Ken – Totally Agree!
Why must he make Springfield girls sound like such sluts?! And why do all the reatrds in the world come from Missouri?!
was the high school seriously called "kickapoo"? thats fucking hilarious!!!!!
Perez you would love Carter. He is just as gay as you. He dresses like Elton John ALOT. He is a good guy, i know him!!! From what i have been told is he pitched the idea to Matell and they didn't like it, so he went to MGA with the idea!
I hate Bratz!!!!!!
I don't let my 4 and 7 year old play with them.
I don't understand why Mom's all over let
There daughters look up to Dollz who Wear
No clothing and Way to much make up?!
I don't want my daughter's to look like a Stripper
Walking down the Street later in life……
So I prefer Barbie only……….
I am a graduate of Kickapoo High School and I can tell you that we did not look like the dolls….where he got his inspiration, I am not sure…..
Love Barbie …Hate Bartz…had to make your dolls all sexed up to make a buck. Barbie will be 50 in 2009. Maybe most have not seen a Barbie in years but the playline dolls do not have the big boobs they used to. Very small now and have wider hips. Only the high end dolls get the original body style. Brabie is not a slut, She is a Fashion doll.
for all you idiots that think the word Kickapoo is hilarious/embarassing - go get an education. that's the name of an indian tribe that used to live in the area. god, im from MO, and even I know that.
Bratz dolls are surely a sign of the apocalypse. I did not think it possible to encapsulate so much evil into a little piece of plastic. The company that makes Bratz also makes padded bras for 6 to 9 year olds. That is pure evil. And we wonder why America is crawling with pedophiles.
Figures it takes a pedophile to create toys for prostitots.
even if he WAS working at mattel when he made the dolls, its not like he stole the idea from the company… does mattel need the money THAT bad? its not like they arent in a gazillion dollar industry. this really grinds my gears :p
Oh get a life….
i remember i got one for x-mas and the shoe fell off and the doll has like a peg leg! i cried my eyes out….. lmao
Team Bratz all the way! Mattel is dimplky trying to litigate MGA to death and they wont succeed because they are lying!!!! BARBIE NEEDS TO RETIRE.
Re: Jennyxo – First reply
LOL! Bratz should take over, Barbie needs to retire!! XD
