Barbie Berlin Dreamhouse draws protests, hand-wringing over opening

Barbie has a new home in Berlin — and it’s literally life-sized. But the protests have been out-sized as well. The Barbie Berlin Dreamhouse opened on Thursday, but protests have already been intensifying. On one recent day, protesters strapped a Barbie doll to a cross and set the cross on fire. Protesters say Barbie sends the wrong message.
