"I'm A Barbe(tm) Girl, In My Barbie(tm) World"

In a victory for social commentator's everywhere, Mattel's lawsuit against MCA Records (on behalf of Swedish band Aqua) claiming trademark infrigement and defamation has been rejected by the US Supreme Court. The court rejected the lawsuit under the grounds that the song was a parody and therefore protected as free speech. I'm not sure which is more concerning... that Mattel attempted to sue or that MCA is claiming they sold more than 1.4 million copies of that horrid song.
