Barbie is Wrong These Days

[OK, Mates, I’m going to drop out of Talk Like A Pirate mode for a serious post.]

My daughter, Small & Feisty, just came over to me. She said:

Daddy, you won’t believe this. They have a Barbie doll with piercings. You can pierce her ear up to three times. Soon they will come out Barbie with belly-button piercings. This is so wrong. Barbie used to be so good. First she dumps Ken for an Australian Surfer, after having a lot of kids after not being married (do you know where all those Kelly dolls came from). Next she gets multiple piercings and all. What’s next, Tatoo Goth Barbie [she’s not joking: she really expects to see a Goth Barbie]. Shoot the stupid blond. How can any woman have that perfect of a body?

I’m so proud of my little girl.
