Thursday, January 11, 2007Barbie's On Poop DutyJust when I think I've seen it all, I haven't. On a recent trip to Wal-Mart, I discovered Barbie and Tanner, the Barbie-and-dog set that comes with not only wee plastic doggie biscuits, but a pile of plastic doggie poop. No, really. Tanner "eats" her biscuits and "poops" out of her little plastic butt. Then Barbie gets to scoop up the poop with her nifty magnetic pooper scooper (complete with long handle so that svelte Barbie doesn't have to strain her lovely back). Magnetic poopies. How innovative. If I feed my new baby a high-iron diet, maybe I'll be able to clean his bottom with a "U" magnet. I grew up playing Barbie. I've bestowed a wondrous amount of Barbies-and-gear upon my dear daughters. Barbie has experienced all sorts of things over the years, from double-jointed ballet legs to embedded voice chips to pregnancy and back again. But BARBIE DOG POOP? Someone at Mattel has run out of ideas. |

7of my readers are feeling chatty:
It's a little better then having Barbie poop, I guess.
If you hadn't linked to that I would have seriously sworn you were making it up! :-O
I don't know...it sort of reminds me of all the things YOU used to make Barbie do when we were little. It just fits in with the realism you demanded;o)
At least it was the DOG that poops. WHEW!
I'm sorry...that's just sick and wrong!
Yep, there goes Mattel just sucking the imagination right out of children!!!
On a side note, for Christmas I gave my brother a little penguin (I think from Hallmark) when you pushed down on his head he would poop out a little candy. I used up half a bag of candy before I even wrapped it! LOL
Hi Jill! *waving* =:-D
Okay, you got me to shopping in my p.j.'s on a Wed. morning before schooling!
Did you see that there is a Barbie & kitty that pees too?!?!?
I am SO tempted to get the Barbie & pooping dog! It would be hillarious for my boys. Only thing stopping me is that the dog apparently.....well, the poop is the same thing as the food, I believe :-s
OH! The RSS feed is great!
*looking for organic chocolate now*
