This most likely depicts an ethical problem because children may be deceived about what Barbie can do.

As some of these ads mix cartoon-type animation and “real” shots of the dolls, children may think that their Barbies can do specific types of actions based from the advertisement. This would also most likely lead to broken Barbies because children may copy the things that they saw in the ads. This is somewhat a form of false advertising.
