Would you buy this for your daughter?
 

There is a new national ad running for "Barbie and Tanner"

Tanner is Barbie's new dog...and it poops. Barbie comes with her own pooper scooper and a trash can to clean up after the pup.

I am NOT making this up.

Makes you wonder what happened around their marketing table...gives a whole new meaning to a sh*tty idea.


Survey: Would you buy this for your daughter?

Well, it does show that no matter how beautiful you are, you will have to pick up someone else's shit at some point.

Well, I guess it's realistic. But everything else about Barbie is not realistic (how many people have a Dream House *and* a Ferrarri?) so I think this is a little too much! :p

If either of my daughters feel the urge to pick up dog poop, I'll give them the pooper scooper and send them out to the backyard to clean up after our three pups! :)

ETA: Now THIS is a cool doll. Growing-up Skipper (third down on the left). I had her and thought she was awesome! http://www.dollreference.com/skipper_doll2.html

I was telling my friend Carol about that doll and she said, "You know what they need? If they are going to sell dogs that poop, they need Trailer Trash Barbie...complete with tatoos, that comes with her own double-wide and sold only at stores in South Carolina."

Wow, that is a different kind of doll...I think I remember seeing the ads when I was little. I didn't have the foll though.

Maybe they'll come out with a sequal, "Corporate Climber Barbie". She could come complete with a brown nose and she turns into a b*tch as soon as she gets her next promotion.

^^^^LMAO!!!:D

Too funny! Here is a little video ad for Barbie and Tanner.. and they even show Tanner pooping.

Does anyone remember pregnant Barbie? I'm not sure if it was Barbie or one of her friends. But she had a trap door in her stomach, you opened it, and out came a baby.

I think they had to remake it for that reason. Not sure if she's still around, but if she is, she comes with a crib and a husband.

Eeeew! That is seriously one of the grossest things I have ever seen! (I'm going to go wash out my eyes with Clorox now)

The smile on that doll's face is creepy.

And I guess she's not planning to breastfeed since she doesn't seem to have, um, nipples.

^^^^Not to mention that if that doll is like most Barbies, the baby can't be born naturally but only by C-section!


I remember her! All the girls in my class wanted one and none of our mothers thought they were "appropriate".

I am just soooo glad my daughter is past the Barbie/Bratz phase. I have to hold on to that one pro of having a "tween"

O.mi.gosh. I saw this doll in "person" today. Nobody mentioned the Barbie that comes with a kittycat, litterbox, and strainer/scooper. Even this year's Christmas Barbie isn't as nice as those in previous years.

I think it's time for "We've run out of ideas" Barbie.

LOL!

I must have missed the memo that said sugarplumfairy was Banned.

Okay......HOLD UP.

I watched the video and you see that Barbie feeds him a treat and then he poops. And the little doggie poops look suspiciously the same as the doggie treats.

and then I guess you pick up the poops and feed them to him again as "treats"??

GROSS!!!

that made me laugh but also was insightful :D

The dog's poops reminded me of PEZ for some reason.

I honestly don't know how she ended up "that way" anyhoo...considering Ken has only a "bump".

I think she was cheating on poor, effiminate Ken with G.I. Joe. He's always seemed more masculine to me and, who knows, he may have more than a bump! :D

No, I hate to be the spoiler here, but being the mom of 3 boys I have tons of naked GI Joes everywhere and he's no better. Maybe more muscular, but no better. Must be sharing soap or something that's causing her to become prego...

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Doesn't GI JOE have a birth defect (backward hand or something)?

I think it must be an Immaculate Conception!

I own that barbie. I was in a toy store with my sister (shut up!) and we laughed so hard when we saw it that I just had to buy it. It's eerily fascinating. Give the hideous cat water and then it pees into sand and then you can scoop it out. Considering, you know, that I don't have five cats to clean up after or anything...

See, so if Barbie gets mad at Skipper or another friend she can have kitty pee on Skippers favorite party dress.

Yes, there is something about GI Joe's hand. I just can't remember. I need to find one and look.

Heres what I dont get. There is someone somewhere that thought this was a good idea. Let me give you a glimpse into this guy/girls day. Your the head cheese at Mattel. Your sitting around pickin your nose wondering what your gonna have for lunch. Your office phone rings, you answer

"Sir/Maam, the head of marketing and R+D are both here to see you"

"Well slap my ass and call me Larry. Send em in!"

They walk in the office, sit down with some drawings and possibly a prototype, walk to your desk and hand you a doll and dog.

You think to yourself, Ok its a Barbie, lovely. And a little dog. Great. You ask them, "So whats it do?"

"Well Sir/Maam the k9 has a bowel movement"

You think to yourself, well damn, they sure have outdone themselves this time, what kid wouldnt want Barbie with a cute little dog that takes a dump that you gotta clean up!!!!!!

"Great work people, get this project up and runnin!!!!!!"

The marketing and R+D people walk out of the office about to piss their pants laughing cause it was really a simple April Fools day joke.

If yall see the head of Mattel out there runnin around in their mercedes or beamer or whatever just run em over and do us all a favor, i mean seriously Id slap every single person on the board of directors right in the damn face.

:D

lmao

You've got to be sh*tting me!

That's just gross.

I guess Tanner is...literally :)

:D:D:D


I second that!!!
