"Macabre Twist: Barbie Mania Sweeps Latin America"

Barbie mania has taken Latin America by storm, with pink-colored tacos, pastries, and even commercial planes bearing the Barbie logo. However, the phenomenon has also taken on a darker, macabre tone. In Peru, anti-government protesters dressed up women as Barbies in giant boxes labeled "Barbie Dictator" and "Genocidal Barbie" to protest the current administration. Meanwhile, Barbie-themed goods are being sold throughout the region, and even political figures are using Barbie imagery in their campaigns. However, there is a darker side to this trend, as one Barbie doll has been transformed into a "Searching Mother" to raise awareness about the plight of missing persons in Mexico.
