Have you seen this?
Barbie now has a pooping dog! And a magnetic “pooper scooper” so she can clean up after him! You “feed” him a snack, and it comes right out the other end (looking vaguely turd-like, just like when you fed it to him). Then Barbie can clean it up.
This disturbs me on so very many levels! What’s next? Stayfree Maxi Barbie with teeny, tiny little maxi pads and mock blood? Or will they just upgrade Tanner’s poop (“Now with even more realistic doggie doo doo smell!”)?
Aaaarrrrggghhh!
Seriously, this looks like one of those joke commercials SNL would have done.
Eh, I’m not surprised. They’ve got to come out with a new Barbie every two weeks or so to keep the kids nagging. Plus, they’re purchased for and played with by girls about 3 or 4 years old – not 9 or 10 like when I was a kid. Poop is naturally appealing to this age group.
My 6-year-old just got this a few days ago for her birthday from another girl. Oy. Now there are little poops scattered around our house - they look just like Tic Tac mints. I am more worried that my daughter will try to eat them or one of our cats would choke on them…
Weird. A couple of years ago, I knew that they had a Barbie cat with clumping litter where you fed the cat water (from a mini baby bottle) and then squeezed it gently over the litter box and then scooped out the clumps, but this seems weirder to me.
Of course, I’d take a cat anyday over a dog, so maybe it’s just me.
