3:46Now Playing"Italy’s Catholic bishops are furious about controversial artistic depictions of the popular Barbie and Ken dolls as the Virgin Mary and a crucified Jesus Christ and other saints.
Two Argentinian artists, Marianela Perelli and Pool Paolini, produced 33 dolls of various religious figures for a show named “Barbie, The Plastic Religion,” which opens in Buenos Aires on Oct. 11.
SIR, an Italian website backed by the Italian bishops conference, denounced the controversial toys in an editorial, which asks: ” What is the difference between provocation and bad taste?”
Ben Mankiewicz, Jimmy Dore, Brian Unger and Gina Grad of The Young Turks discuss this story. Jimmy goes on to discuss his experience with Catholicism. Brian thinks there's a business here. Do you agree with Brian? Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
