A jury will learn that the creator of the popular Bratz doll erased files from his computer two days before handing it over as evidence in a federal trademark infringement lawsuit filed by Mattel Inc, a judge in California ruled on Tuesday.

Mattel has sued family-owned MGA, claiming it owns the original Bratz concept drawings and that doll's creator, Carter Bryant made them and other Bratz drawings and models while he was under contract to Mattel as a Barbie designer.

At a hearing before testimony began on Tuesday, lawyers for both sides said Bryant had erased files, but they disagreed what he intended to erase.

I have two girls. I refuse to buy them anything resembeling these Bratz dolls. I was at first turned off by the name, kids don't need encouragement to act like brats. Then I saw their clothes and make up. Unbelievable.

If Britney's slutty looks and moves used to appeal to 11 and 12 year olds and parents who wanted their little girls to look that way also, what's wrong with the Bratz dolls looking like hookers??

A better question is: What's the matter with the parents?

Any parent who buys one of these slutty dolls for a child should be charge with child abuse. I suspect most buyers are pedophiles. Think about it. Who would most be turned on by these dusgusting products?
