Would you buy this for your daughter?

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"

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.

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.
