Ken and Barbie are getting a Divorce...

How absurd is this?!?! Last night on the news, I heard that the toy maker has decided that Ken and Barbie are going to have a divorce. Isn't it bad enough that the institution of the family is assaulted by society every day?! Do we now need toy makers indoctrinating our children with the idea that divorce is the norm?!! I think I might just have to stop buying my daughter Barbie products, over this.[:(][V][:(!]

    I thought Barbie was hooked up with G.I. Joe and Ken's new thing is Queer Eye.

    With tthe growing popularity of Gay/Lesbian crap She will probably come out, butch up, cut her hairbuy ugly clothes and and move in with Skipper (Bull Dyke Barbie)[;)]

    If that is true that they are getting divorced, then next, Ken will probably go gay.

    About 20 years ago they did come out with a homo doll. My gang of medics saw a show on it on the news when we were at work, we never laughed so hard. This was called the Gay Bob doll. The box that Gay Bob doll came in was configured as a closet. Get it, when you took Gay Bob out of the package, he was coming out of the closet.
    True story.

    My guess is that the rare Gay Bob doll must be going for big bucks on FeeBay.... [:D]

    Next will be Hedonist Divorced Ken and Tramp Barbie. Ken will have a Playboy pipe, slippers and smoking jacket; Barbie will be dressed in too much lipstick and a too-short skirt... [8D]

    Unfortunately, the degeneration of the American family pays my bills...

    I'm sure it will be a fault divorce with Ken claiming adultery and Barbie claiming cruelty and drug abuse...

    If gays can marry then why not the next step in "plasticizing (sp?)" the value system ... let's you kid's dolls get married.

    Heck, they've been performing marriage ceremonies for animals for a long time ... think that one stated in Calif. (suprise) and spread East.

    Just remember, they can make the toys or other products, but you vote with your pocket book (or credit card).


    If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!

    Well she couldn't do the math before so why should she have any sense now?

    They were never married. Barbie is leaving Ken, because they've been together for more than forty years, and Ken still hasn't proposed to Barbie.[}:)]

    Actually, there was a pregnant Barbie, but she upset a lot of [conservative] people, and she was quickly yanked off the shelves. (Barbie even gave birth!) If you have the "Happy Family" Barbie doll, it's pretty collectible.

    When I was a kid, gi joe and his buddies would come in, kick the chit out of ken, and have their way with Barbie and her little friends....all except the 'sailor' gi joe......he seemed sensitive, and nurturing, and he and Ken became great friends....almost inseparable. in fact, they seemed content to share tanning and wardrobe secrets amongst themselves. They spent many a happy hour, talking about Liberace, and how hot he was in his costume, possibly because of the high button collars and the tv lights, and listening to the village people's newest offing. One of the most memorable moments I ever had as a youth was the incredibly moving version of 'oklahoma' that ken, sailor joe, and ken's friends once put on as a lark. oh what a time they had........

    Being that they're both not "anatomically correct," I don't think the marriage was ever consummated.[:D] The article on cnn.com was hilarious.
