What about Ken? CNBC.com reports that Iranian police have been confiscating
Mattel s (NASDAQ: MAT ) Barbie dolls from toy stores in Tehran and shutting the
stores down as part of a recent Islamist crackdown on Western cultural

interest in them along with all things Western doesnt seem to have dampened in
the years since, especially among young people. Meanwhile, Irans official state
TV airs several Western and Hollywood films every week. More on this story at
