Surreal: Barbie and Ken “break up.”
CNN runs a surreal story that treats, with what is apparently irony, plastic dolls as if they were real people. Mattel’s Barbie and Ken are no longer dating. (*) I thought the characters were married, not dating.
I don’t know which is worse: the culture’s obsession with humorless irony or the amoral lesson this will teach to children.

This is a travesty! And what about skipper? Does Mattel worry about her feelings?

I think that the sex tapes of Ken & Barbie that were relased on the net should be
shown and sold.

Was G.I. Joe part of the reason they broke up? That is what Spin Magazine wrote!
