FYI the selfproclaimed 'trolls' at 4chan.org's /b/ board has been actively trying to influence the vote so it would come out in favour of Barbie the Computer Engineer. This could be the result of their campaign.

On a slightly different tack there are some interesting links here with Shoshana Magnet's work around the commodification of difference and suicidegirls.com. I'm thinking with respect to how the makers of Barbie are commodifying the 'idea' of the female computer engineer and in doing so reinforcing gender stereotypes. At the risk of pointing out the obvious - a pink laptop, come on... Here's the ref: Shoshana Magnet, Feminist sexualities, race and the internet: an investigation of suicidegirls.com, New Media & Society 2007 9: 577-602.
