It is important that we remain happy, as it apparently helps other people be happy. So I thought I would share some happy news. The Bratz dolls may soon die.

I’ve hated the Bratz dolls from the moment I saw them. I didn’t even have kids at the time. It’s just that they are always dressed in some slutty outfit with some provocative look on their face. Bratz dolls represent the teenager I don’t want my daughter to become — so I am holding out hope that a new ruling in the case against MGA Entertainment, the Bratz manufacturer, will really make them go away.

Mattel, the maker of the Barbie Doll, sued the maker of Bratz for copyright infringement and after more than four years, has won. The court order says “MGA may no longer manufacture, sell, advertise or license its core lineup of Bratz dolls or any other product with the Bratz name.” And although Mattel can always change its mind, company executives did ask in court filings “for permission to destroy the dolls.”

Good riddance to you, Bratz.
