Strangest Photo of the Week

Posted on April 24, 2010 by Mike

I saw this photo on MSNBC. The caption was:

Afghan women learn how to make a doll at an April 15 workshop in Kandahar sponsored by a Malaysian nongovernmental organization called Mercy. Some 80 women participate in every workshop despite rising tensions in the city between the Taliban and NATO troops.

I love that Barbie’s dress is a subtle reflection of the more obvious contrasts in the photo itself — that her dress is made of old-fashioned matronly lace, yet is intentionally midriff-baring.
