Big Brother Always Wins...

Ritza

Im neutral about Bratz and Barbie wars.  Even though I lean heavilly on the Barbie side.  It still pisses me off that a giant corporation like Mattel has squashed the dreams of a little man WHO may I add designed the stupid dolls while he worked for Mattel.

He pitched the dolls to Mattel and they said No.  So he pitched the dolls to MGA and they said yes.

For the news to say that he secretly sold the designs to MGA is corporate show down - it really didnt happen that way.  He was always upfront about the move to MGA to Mattel since they shot his ideas down, which is why he pays royalty.

BUT!

Mattel didnt realize how successful Bratz would be so now they wanted more mula for their pockets and MGA said EAT IT.

So, big brother Mattel did the next best thing, they shut down MGA.

This is sooo corporate America.  And its a shame.  They're the idiots that shot down the idea in the first place.  It fustrates me because I have had ideas in the past that I brought up to people and it got shot down, only for the idea to spring up somewhere else and they let it fly - only for it to be successful.

As much as I hate Bratz dolls, it's not cool how it all played out.
