Anyway, Lady GaGa isn't what I'd like to call a positive children role model.

I'm not really even sure what you're trying to say. I think you're attempting to push a negative view onto this simply because it changes the status quo and looks to teach kids to embrace themselves and other for who they are. Maybe you don't like the celebrity involved, and that's fine.

Acceptance of others is a very good message to send and teach. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but most of Mattel's dolls are not overly positive images in general. Diversifying the look, promoting a positive message message through a popular line of dolls is an odd thing to get worked up over.
