Barbie Goes {Lady} Gaga?

I saw this this morning on People.com.  I was a bit shocked to see the EW.com has turned Barbie umm, into a bad girl.  I'm really not sure how to feel about this.  I mean I think Lady Gaga is a bit on the eccentric side but she does have some catchy songs.  Her fashion just doesn't make any sense to me and I don't see why we should be taking someone like Barbie who is a CHILDHOOD staple for little girls and turning her into Lady Gaga. 

Wouldn't having her dress up as famous women role models like Jackie O., Amelia Erhart and Maya Angelou be better?  Or hell if you are going for entertainment value why not Betty White?  I mean who wouldn't love a Betty White Barbie?  What's next a Lindsay Lohan Barbie complete with a alcohol monitoring anklet?

If you haven't seen the pictures for yourself, allow me to share a few with you, you will see what I mean.  I think it makes Barbie a tad bit overdone for kids, hope there are no little girls out there dreaming of owning crime scene tape {masturbating?} Barbie!
