BERLIN (AP)
-- It probably wasn't the reception Barbie was hoping for at the
start of her European tour.
Feminist protesters burned a doll on a cross and left-wing
demonstrators shouted "pink stinks" at the Berlin opening of a
life-sized Barbie house Thursday.
They far outnumbered Barbie fans who came to see the Mattel toy's
fictional Malibu home.
Security guards swiftly ejected the protesters from the site, which
is tucked away behind socialist high rises, railroad tracks and a
shopping center near the city's gritty Alexanderplatz.
The "Barbie Dreamhouse" in Berlin is the second such theme house
after a similar one opened recently in Florida.
It will remain in the German capital until August before going on
tour around Europe.
