Abhor then Embrace?

WHY ARE THESE DOLLS EVERYWHERE?

I go to Flickr for photos all of the time, and no matter what topics I tag, there's a stupid Blythe doll.

Looking for the tags below?

TELEPHONE, BUCKET, ELEPHANT, CREPES

Don't worry. You'll at least find a Blythe doll!

THIS photo is relatively sedate. They're often posed as though they're the owners' daughters or friends - leaning against a wall, standing by their bikes (yes, they have myriad accessories), with curlers in their hair, or even looking secuctive.

Today I saw a custom Edward Scissorhands Blythe that sold for $5000.

What is wrong with the world?

Don't they know that there are people out there who don't even have a Barbie?
