BARBIE DOLLS `EXECUTED' IN TINY ELECTRIC CHAIRS

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Wireless Flash) -- Barbie may get a charge from this: A man in Charlotte, North Carolina, has created a line of miniature electric chairs designed to "electrocute" Barbie and just about any other doll. The 19-inch-high chair is made out of white oak and is an exact duplicate of the Florida electric chair that charbroiled serial killer Ted Bundy in 1989. Inventor John Pauley admits his "Dolly Death Chairs" aren't nearly as lethal: they only contain battery-powered joy buzzers that rattle the chair. The doll electric chairs will sell for about $300 and should be on the market within a few months. Pauley's company -- the Ole Sparky Electric Chair Company -- also makes full-size replicas of electric chairs that become vibrating chairs when the switch is thrown.
