No little girl wants to play with a chubby doll! Good on Bartell for taking a stand. Anyone that says they’re happy with being fat is lying to themselves!

@GodsGift15

Your comment is exactly why the world and men are the way they are today. Cathy isn’t fat! She’s a curvy size 14, tall and big boned. Of course the doll should reflect this. But its people like you who are in charge of places like Bartell, and give women complexes.

I think I saw her in a porno once. Wasn’t really focussed on her size! ;-)

My God, people. Can’t anyone see how obvious this PR stunt is? Let’s get saddos like us to grace comment pages with our witticisms and bible study-like debates for days. That way, the doll gets attention, Cathy gets more press and we all lose our dignity to Bartell Inc! PS: Anyone else hard at work?

@Jenny67

You’re a smart one. You must have a figure to die for like old Cath. I like you. Three guesses to get to know me before we meet...

Dude, this isn’t a dating chat room. Get over yourself.

@Feminist38

I’m guessing from your comment that you’re a very lonely woman without much male attention.

I’ve told you before to stop talking to me.

Good news everyone! Since earlier, Bartell have announced they are to ‘reconsider the Cathy doll’ (www.bartellinc.com). Who says digital protests don’t work?

Two guesses left, beautiful. Oh, and don’t wear that blue skirt. It’s not appropriate for your office.

LMAO. Too funny dude. You’re one odd monkey!

A dark, Jane Eyre afternoon. News just in: Bartell are sticking to their guns. Does anyone else feel women are still second class citizens whilst expecting to look fabulous?

I’ll sign your online petition...to have it stopped! Don’t you get it? Women should do their best to look their best, just like I do.

@Jenny67?

Are you about? Please bring some sense back into this debate.

Jenny67

Hey guys. Busy day at the office and still here unfortunately. Man, Bartell have been busy too-ing and fro-ing haven’t they? I’ve never seen such pathetic uproar. I think its great these debates exist, but at the same time, it’s so pointless. Nothing will change, women will always be expected to look a certain way and men will be able to hide behind avatars such as GodsGift15 and RudeBoy69 in order to over compensate!

@Jenny67

Hey. Overworking will make you look tired.

Friday 31st October, 20:35

@???

Go away. I’m spoken for – go buy a Cathy doll!

@Jenny67 and Feminist38

Stupid moderator blocked my image. I’ll have to get Bartell to make a doll of me, NO proportions altered!

@Jenny67

Still at work? Not good. Need someone to take care of you, really. Too much independence can be a bad thing.

I’m all good as a London city woman, thank you.

You’re creeping me out a little, my friend.

Go on, have another guess.

One left.

Have you guys seen this? Some bloke (from the U.S. of course) tried to break into the Bartell HQ and steal all the dolls (www.weirdnewsus.com). Said he had to save Cathy from extortion. Talk about obsessed.

Friday 31st October, 21:38

GodsGift15

What??? The guy is obviously lonely and desperate.

Clearly this man is a control freak. Classic sociopathic behaviour. A man who likes to, literally, play with women. What a sad state of affairs. Bartell still aren’t budging – but they’re talking again. Please sign the petition: www.feminismlives.org

Can’t sleep. Nothing new here. Comment for this page has almost expired so I’ll leave you all with this until the next debate – no matter how good you look, people will always try to change you...and hate the result anyway!
