That depends on my fiance. She really does want to have one. She hasn't yet been able to provide me with a significant enough reason to change my mind on the issue, but you never know.

For once, I agree with you. Stick to your guns on this (afterall, what does a woman know anyway?) and do not have children.
 
Yep. And Barbie needs a pet dog. A Wiener dog. Or maybe "Old Leg Humper", the labrador.

Maybe an attack dog to bite that doofus Ken. :lol:

Meet “normal” Barbie: She’s not impossibly tall and skinny, but instead created in the proportions of the average 19-year-old American woman.

Using a 3-D model, Photoshop and the Centers for Disease Control’s measurements of the average 19-year-old woman, artist Nickolay Lamm of MyDeals.com has created a rendering of what a Barbie doll would look like if it better resembled an average woman. He used the CDC measurements to make a 3-D model, dressed it up like a Barbie using Photoshop, then photographed a standard Barbie doll next to his model to show the difference.

Much of the toys you mentioned are actually things my daughter does with her barbies - she dresses them up, has them clean and re-arrange their house, cooks, take care of their babies, and so on.

My problem with Barbie, and others of the same ilk are that they teach an unreasonable expectation for what one looks like and what one has. Once you get barbie you have to get the Malibu mansion, the dream car, the 6,000 outfits, et.... which I believe sets an unrealistic mental picture for girls of the things they need to have and do when they become women.

Absolutely. Why is Ken such a jerk? They need to make Ken into a Duck Dynasty looking guy with an AR-15 and an ATV. I haven't seen a Ken in a long time, but I imagine he's turned into some kind of metrosexual puke busy getting waxes and his nails done between lattes.

:rofl He doesn't even own his own house. He's always skeeving off of Barbie.
 
Maybe you guys should start complaining that Ken doesn't have his own dream house. :lol:

True, which is another reason to not like her (Barbie) or him.

Ken's dream house wouldn't get past the politically correct Mattel R&D department. It would have to come with the beer fridge, the hot tub, the "man cave" and two or three of Barbie's hot but stupid friends. ;)

Well that's probably why she and Ken haven't gotten married in all these years. :lol:
 
Barbie makes the money. Ken's just another dickless... literally... guy staying home and playing video games.

Probably. I mean why would a hot girl like Barbie want to get married to a neutered putz like Ken and why would he want to get permanently involved with a ball-busting ***** like her?

Doesn't even own a vehicle. Jeeze. What a loser. I don't know what Barbie sees in him. Couldn't grow a beard if his life depended on it. Hairless wonder. Never had a job because he can't do a damn thing. Useless. A complete failure as a representative of the species. "Ken" was the shortest name they could come up with. He can't handle more. Got the brains of a turnip.

He's less than impressive down below as well. :2razz:
 
Poor Ken. He has no balls. Just a weird looking lump. :lol:

I hate Ken. He's done more damage to man kind than Pee Wee Herman, and Mattel just keeps on letting him get away with it. He's probably gonna try to run for Congress.
 
Well, to be honest, I don't think there is anything wrong with the way either Barbie looks. Like I said, different people have different bodies, and no matter what you do there is always going to be SOMEBODY who is unhappy.

Actually there have been studies on the proportions of Barbie and they are not realistic. The point is, if there are women out there built like her, they are in a very very small minority. Even her shoe size (3) could never support her height. And just like you compared your body to Barbie's, how many little girls growing up do the same? The point being wouldn't it be a better thing to produce a doll that was more "normal" than to go from an un-proportionate super thin and the other extreme of one that is overweight?
 
Sales on "beer belly ken" are running brisk these parts.

He'd fit right in. :mrgreen:
