Would you buy this for your daughter?

[sugarplumfairy]

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!

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.

^^^^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"

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.

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.
