Mattel Told to Pay $1.8M in Barbie Suit

LOS ANGELES - Mattel Inc. must pay more than $1.8 million in legal fees and court costs to a Utah man who incorporated nude Barbie dolls in his artwork, a federal judge has ruled.

The award stems from a lawsuit the El Segundo-based toy maker filed in 1999 against Tom Forsythe of Kanab, Utah, on grounds that his series of photos, "Food Chain Barbie," infringed on the toy maker's copyrights.

The photos often depicted Barbie dolls placed in sexually provocative positions. One called "Barbie Enchiladas," shows four Barbie dolls inside a lit oven, wrapped in tortillas and covered with salsa in a casserole dish.

I don't know what's funnier, the Barbie-pr0n, the lawsuit, or the fact that Mattel lost. :laugh:

My friend is the lawyer that argued this case before the appeals court on behalf of Mattel. He got hs a$$ handed to him by the court. He knew he was going to lose, and lose bad when he was assigned the case by his law firm (Quinn Emanuel in LA). Of course, being the low man on the totem pole means you get the ownage cases.

Nothing funny about it, it's absolutely disgusting how much of a joke the system has become. If anyone needs me I'll be throwing myself down to the ground and then sueing the sidewalk :roll:

Why not just sue the public school system? 😉
