Barbie's new dog!

[Cybrvanr]

I broke up in uncontrollable laughter when I saw this new toy advertised on the TV! This is a new Barbie dog and I first thought it was one of those spoof ad's like you see at the beginning of SNL or something...but this is an ACTUAL TOY being sold! which makes even more hilarious!

That is positively disgusting!!!

I can't believe what I just saw!!! And does anybody REALLY KNOW how Barbie makes her money? The chick has a plane, dream house, corvettes, jeeps etc. She has more stuff than Oprah!! Now, what does she do for a living? And poor Ken was always just the background to her foreground. By the way is he still around?

I saw that atrocious thing

yesterday. I really have to wonder about moms that would buy that for their daughter.

There is much worse than that though. Does anyone remember "Baby Alive"? This monstrosity was marketed for years (it may have had a comeback) and I believe it debuted in the 70s.

It would drink water, and also you could feed it this pink gel. Its mouth moved up and down as you fed it. When the gel mixed with water inside the doll, it would turn brown and come out in brown globs out the doll's other end. Then you changed its diaper.

Sick. I have no problem changing kids diapers (probably done 5x more of it than my wife) and older kids helping. But a doll or dog that poops? Get the kid an Easy Bake Oven, Toy Washer or an Erector Set for God's sake.

But Barbie Doesn't

Years ago I helped my sister assemble a Barbie Dream House for my niece. Really neat house as I recall. However one thing we noticed missing from the bathroom was a toilet.

Ok, now you can shoot me.

Baby Alive is ALIVE.

Unbelievably, Hasbro is bringing this sick thing back (the original was made by Kenner I believe). Now, instead of just hinting about what the doll really does (and learning about it word of mouth) the website just goes ahead and tells you!

Snippets:

"BABY ALIVE:GET THE POOP ON HASBRO’S BABY ALIVE DOLL IN 2006"

Yes, that is on the Hasbro website. Classy huh. Here's what Valerie Jurries, vice president of the Girls division of Hasbro, has to say about it. I can just imagine what kind of a ditz she is:

" With the re-birth of the BABY ALIVE doll, Hasbro is revolutionizing the way little girls can nurture and play with their baby dolls, and we’ve kept the core elements of what made the doll special to begin with – eating and pooping,” said Valerie Jurries, vice president of the Girls division of Hasbro. “Hasbro is the number one manufacturer in mini-dolls, and currently has the number one plush brand, so we’re using that knowledge along with similar technology to re-enter the large-doll category.”

BABY ALIVE is the doll that “eats” and “poops” just like a real baby. Girls can feed her special doll food, give her a bottle and then get ready to change her messy diaper. She’s ready to play, laugh and talk…and girls will love taking care of her. The BABY ALIVE doll is for ages three and up and will be available this August at mass retailers nationwide for an approximate retail price of $49.99."

So, let's get rid of the 12" GI Joes that my sons loved--replace with a crummy line with a TV series tie in, no problem. But plenty of shelf space for freaking pooping dolls.

erghhhhhhhhhhhh
