Question:
1. The average woman citizen of America would have to lose atleast 5 inches around her waist to match barbie's perfect waistline.

2. Not only that, but she would also have to gain 6 inches around the bust line

3. Barbie has Ken, the pink cadillac, a dream house, and so far, a job as a femme fatal, a flight attendant, a nurse, a house wife, a doctor, a construction worker, an actress, a rancher, a cowgirl, a ballerina, a gymnast, a princess, and a dentist. They're running out of GOOD jobs for barbie. What's next, Hooker barbie? EASY barbie?

4. 30% of 1ST grade girls think that they are overweight and need to go on a diet. (most of them played with barbies)

and now, all of you barbie wannabees, here's the most important:

If someone actually looked like a life-size replica of barbie, she would be dead. WHy? There's not enough body fat to keep her alive.

So now, Have you ever looked at a doll and thought, 'man, i wish i looked like her'?

Choices:
A couple of times.
No, i'm me. I'm happy with who i am.
Yes, i wish i could look like her!

Never said it was all barbie's fault. It's Mainstream's fault.

Mangas rock! I know, they're all so skinny. It makes everyone else seem fat.

I read and article that says if barbie and ken were really and life size the would be so deformed they would walk on all fours

haha yeah.

For halloween, a bunch of tortured barbies in mini bondage outfits were hung outside of the local Food Not Bombs HQ. That was funny as hell.

As kid I always wanted to be like Barbie. I remember dreaming about being blond and tall and so thin. I thought it'd all be solved if I looked like Barbie. This lasted till I was around 11. Not fun.
