Oh my God, oh my God. The world is coming to an end. I saw a commercial for this thing this afternoon and I just about died. In the commercial, they actually show how you give the alleged cat a bottle of water (who the fuck bottle feeds a cat?) and then squeeze it in the middle so it will pee in the litter box! Thenwe see a little girl playing ‘Barbie’ and saying “I’ll scoop it up!” It comes with actual clumping litter.
Anyone who’s had to hand raise a kitten. Sometimes Mama Kitty doesn’t make enough milk, or Kitten doesn’t suckle well. I’ve had to bottle feed my share of kittens. One of our current cats, in fact, had to be bottle fed because his kitty mom died and my daughter had to rescue him (he was feral) and feed him with a bottle. He’s nearly 2 years old now…and believe me, if we gave him a bottle again, he’d be delighted. Instead, he sucks on blankets.
I guess this is for all of those moms who are trying to interest their daughters in skewpin’ the potty box. Apparently, though, only blondes are potty scoopers.
I saw that commercial, too, and I laughed so hard I nearly had to hold MYSELF over the cat box!
Anyone remember the infamous “Blow Job Barbie” of the late '70s? It was officially called “Kissing Barbie.” She had a lip-print-covered dress, and her mouth was kinda open, like those blow-up sex dolls. Her knees bent, and when you did something—pulled her hair or yanked her arm, I don’t remember—her lips opened and closed and she made a weird “kissy” noise. Everyone started calling them “Blow Job Barbies,” and they were yanked off the shelf faster than “Maturing Skipper.” Bet they’d be worth a fortune today . . .
And come to think of it, who would Barbie give a blow job TO? Ken?! I don’t THINK so . . .
Eve, I had the SAME reaction as you when I saw that commercial. Tri-colored kitty litter???
And I OWNED Kissing Barbie. First one I ever had, as a matter of fact. To get her to kiss, there was a button on the back of the doll. I need to see if I can still find it in my parent’s attic…
“And Ken tells the bartender his marriage was a failure
because Barbie and Ken have no genitalia.”
Does anybody else remember “The Groove Tube”? (undoubtedly paraphrased, as I haven’t seen it in years. One of the skits was a Barbie doll ad with a series of quick cuts of the dolls in various poses and a story told in cutesy, lousily scanning verses like the real Barbie ads of the time. However, it presented a Ken and Barbie having affairs and getting divorced. It ended with something like the above and a final picture of the two dolls naked. Or is my memory playing me false, and that skit is from another source?)
