Coming to a toy store near you: Cease and Desist Barbie. Very funny stuff Justin, I expect you'll be getting a letter soon.

Now, see: *this* *is* parody. Given Mattel's well-known heavy handedness on this topic, *this guy* has a hope on the parody exemption... if he's willing to push it...

Heh. In case anyone's curious, here's the original letter that was used in the image (web host name obscured). And here's what got them upset. After the legal action he retitled his site "Distorted $arbie".

This is three years old, btw.
