A Bad Day for Barbie


Well, Mattel is recalling lots of tainted toys from lead contamination so it looks like Barbie's back to school fashion statements are weighed down with her inability to accessorize this semester.

Barbie is shockingly at a loss for words and very depressed right now. There are rumors developing she is taking the news harshly and has dropped out of school.

Update: These photos just in by our correspondent UntamedGirly

Ken cannot be reached for comment.

That sounds vaguely reminiscent of Bastille Barbie. In more modern times, she has been known to lose her head over a Ken or two.

*note to self - must diligently defend Barbies everywhere from beautifultrouble as the world has little need for Headless Barbie*

I think you're grossly underestimating the power of Barbies everywhere as they've come a long way. You're just lucky Barbie isn't here to defend herself or perhaps she's taking the higher road presently.

We have Dr. Barbie, Scientific Barbie, Lawyer Barbie (currently engaged in lead litigation), Metal Barbie, etc. and none of them are pleased with your anti-Barbie barbs!

Well, the world could probably do without crack-whore Barbie...

thanks for the link!

You're so welcome!

Poor Crack-Whore Barbie just needs to get off the streets and pursue a fresh start in life perhaps working with other celebrities on a campaign for a crack free future.

Rehab Barbie!! LOL

nilla pup, I guess it's just another sign of our times and Barbie's celebrity lifestyle catching up with her.

It reminds me of the poem Richard Cory by Edwin Arlington Robinson (and the song with the same title by Simon and Garfunkel recorded by others too which described the same story from another point of view) but simply stated, the idea is while people envy beauty and wealth, it comes with other forms of baggage and is not in any way a guarantee for happiness. On the contrary, it can be quite a burden:

Whenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean-favoured and imperially slim.

And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"Good Morning!" and he glittered when he walked.

And he was rich, yes, richer than a king,
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine -- we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.

So on we worked and waited for the light,
And went without the meat and cursed the bread,
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet in his head.

Seeing the grass is greener on the other side, perhaps we should invite Rehab Barbie over for some lawn darts.

There is a striking similarity. I just thought she took the name from the car she's currently driving since she pawned Ken's jeep for quick money after the divorce and her pink Mercedes was impounded by the police. LOL
