Vietnam has banned the Barbie movie because an image of the Chinese Nine Dash Line appears in it.
And now I'm definitely watching that one because how the bloody hell did that get into a Barbie movie?
Also Margot Robbie.

Well, given the UK's fury when 'Malvinas' are mentioned...
FWIW, I've long considered 'Barbie' to be a major factor in adolescent girls' anorexia...
Yes, yes, the doll is a pre-schooler's perspective upon a nubile sister, cousin, whatever, but I still shudder at its near-alien dysmorphism...
( Disclosure: My wife loathed her sisters' Barbies, preferred the more life-like Cindy...)

Speaking of. It's reportedly been banned in Argentina because of another offending map image.
I wonder if the can make it three? Crimea, Nagorny Karabach, Taiwan. No that one is too easy.
