Ken & Barbie

[Queen B]

So I just hear that Ken & Barbie are breaking up.
What the @%&k is up with that?
They said they are going to cover it on the evening news.
Again I say, what the.....

 

[JNA]

? Who did Barbie run off with GI Joe?

 

[boiker]

this could be bigger than Benifer!! :-s

YACK.

Here is the news story.

I bet they come to us for relationship advice.

 

[SlaveToTheGrind]

I knew it. Ken is gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

 

[Rumpy Tunanator]

Ken took a new job on Bravo.

 

[michaelskis]

Well... the Doll world is now following the real world.

She is leaving him for another guy.

 

[Big Easy King]

I knew it. Ken is gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

You might be correct because the article ends with, "So where does that leave Ken? Said Arons: "He will head for other waves." ;-)

 

[Planderella]

? Who did Barbie run off with GI Joe?

Didn't you know that G.I. Joe is also known as G.I. GAY??

 

[nerudite]

43 years without a proposal and uh.... Ken is missing something below. I'm surprised Barbie made it this long with breaking off the relationship.

Too funny that this ended up posted today, because some fellow co-workers were debating this issue as a sign of the times and messages to children.

Does anyone think that this sends the wrong message to kids?

Ken dolls have been the source of problems between men and women for over 40 years. Parents give little girls Ken dolls and then they grow up to think men are to be dressed and manipulated according to their whims. Plus Ken dresses like a gay guy.

There has been a push for a more realistic Barbie, how about a more realistic Ken? First off, call him Kenny or Cooter. Give him accessories like a big screen TV and a bass boat. How about a place for Ken to hang out with his buds - a strip joint where Skipper can shake her money maker. As far as clothes, Ken needs a pair of jeans, a wife-beater t-shirt, a truckers cap, faded, stinky sneakers and old BVDs with the elastic gone. Make Ken look more like an American male - gone is his "six-pack" and give him a six-pack and a beer belly.

 

[SkeLeton]

Otterpop... LMAO! :-D
Ludes... what wrong message? people can make mistakes and sometimes they get divorced? Anyways... who cares? It'll be sold separately so Mattel can make more money! Now they'll make a set including a divorce court with judge and all!

LMFAO, I second what otterpop just said.

Showing my age here, but I can't imagine Barbie without Ken! Although GI Joe was always a good substitute.
My favorite was "Mod Hair Ken..." he came with stick-on sideburns, moustaches, beards, etc.
(OK, I was a 60's child!)

That is not the only thing he broke off. Have you ever pulled Ken's pants off? There is nothing there, no package, or so I am told. Barbie just got sick of not having access to the plumbing. Wonder if Ken is really confused with his/her indentity?

 

[SkeLeton]

Oh, now I see what ludes98 meant with the "worng message to the kids" statement.
Just look at the image above. It gives young girls a completly wrong image of the men they should later date when they're women! See, that's why women complain that all the guys they meet are gay! They've been misseducated by Barbie! :-D

 

[Rem]

This new style already has attracted a new admirer, Blaine the Australian boogie boarder.

Go the little Aussie battler.

 

[Habanero]

Barbie and Ken were married, I remember it clearly- I got the family barbie set and they both had gold bands painted on.. .and baby barbies too! That little hussie!

I believe this would be known as "NASCAR Ken" or "Hooters Ken"???

ZG, what would you, one who lives in the south, know about NASCAR and Hooters?

 

[Zoning Goddess]

Uh, we have an engineer from Clemson who is nicknamed the "Hootermeister". Need I say more?

 

[SlaveToTheGrind]

Could not find a decent picture of the real thing.

Dear, when you are getting the milk for free why would you buy the cow?

 

[donk]

Maybe it was Ken's choice in automobiles

 

[GeogPlanner]

this isn't a huge shock...the worst pop culture shock was learning that Mr. Brady was a gay man. not that there is anything wrong with that
