Latest news: Barbie to sue for SH- Claims Cardboard cutout sets precedent!
Edited on Tue Dec-09-08 09:34 AM by Mother Of Four
(Parody-Humor: This is meant to break some tension. Life is about laughs people.)
In a shocking turnaround today, one of our national icons in the toy industry- Barbie, has begun a lawsuit against millions of adults who forced her paperdoll cutout to kiss Kens paperdoll cutout when said adults were children.

"It was humiliating, I never liked Ken. Not only did they make me KISS him but I was in my underwear!"

Barbie continued, lightly dabbing her face- "I've had mustaches drawn on me, beards, and other horrible things that are just too personal to mention!" she said as she shuddered. "When these people became teenagers, they ripped me up and even threw me away!" she pauses..."Do you KNOW how bad the inside of a trashcan smells the day after meatloaf night?"

"I never had the courage to come forward until I saw the outpouring of support for the Hillary Cutout. This puts things in a whole new light, and gives me the strength to move on this lawsuit."

4. I was looking online for a paper
which claimed that the actual man that Ken was modeled after was gay and was an early casualty of the AIDS crisis, but I couldn't find it -- hopefully I have the URL backed up at home and will post it if I can find it.

I did, however, find this funny page about "Earring Magic Ken!" :D http://www.manbehindthedoll.com/mbtd_earring.htm
