Mattel must pay nearly $2M to artist who was sued for parodying Barbie


Mattel Inc. must pay more than $1.8 million US in legal fees and court costs to a Utah man who incorporated nude Barbie dolls in his artwork, a federal judge has ruled.

The award stems from a lawsuit the El Segundo-based toy maker filed in 1999 against Tom Forsythe of Kanab, Utah, on grounds that his series of photos, Food Chain Barbie, infringed on the toy maker's copyrights. The photos often depicted Barbie dolls placed in sexually provocative positions. One called Barbie Enchiladas, shows four Barbie dolls inside a lit oven, wrapped in tortillas and covered with salsa in a casserole dish.

Could laptops run on spinach?
