Mohler on "KGOY" and Barbie

As a parent of a little girl, I am deeply concerned about the marketing of certain toys to young girls. Just in time to ruin Christmas for many undescerning parents, Mohler has published this alarming post on the disturbing markenting phenomenon that revolves around the acrostic "KGOY": "Kids Growing Older Younger". Read it here.

I am a genuine evangelical Scrooge, I confess. But I dread the day when well-intentioned but less than discerning gift-givers buy toys for my children which I do not approve of, and Barbie ranks near top of the list. Reading Mohler's blog article today should help readers to understand why.

Bah Humbug.
