All I Want for Christmas is Bondage Barbie

Thank God Christmas comes but once a year. Its pretty much all my patience can handle. The idea of assembling various presents took an interesting turn this year, something I previously had not seen. This year, the year of Barbie (and Achy Breaky Montana), had me removing said Barbie from her box with extreme frustration. Every square inch of Barbie was either wired or taped to some form of cardboard. Was this to prevent someone from stealing Barbie? Considering the Barbie demographic (ages 4-12?) is all of this security really necessary?
