ROFL it comes with a cell phone & food stamps?!?

[brokenandtwisted]

Hilariously wrong. Today's youth are going to be so fucked.

Remember "Growin' Skipper?" She had her arm in the air and when you pulled it down to her side, her torso stretched so that she had a waist and breasts popped out. I do hope this Barbie comes with her legs spread and a flat stomach. Pull her legs together and the baby bump appears! Too late, Barbie! Return that purity ring to the store!

[Piper]

Yeah why don't they sell Barbie "chastity belts"? That's something I'd buy my daughter!

I am not sure if the Barbie is real...but this is!

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — She is Barbie's oldest friend, happily married and visibly pregnant with her second child — and some parents think she is a little too real for their children.

The pregnant version of Midge, which pops out a curled-up baby when her belly is opened — has been pulled from Wal-Mart shelves across the country following complaints from customers, a company spokeswoman said Tuesday.

Midge was introduced in 1963, a freckle-faced redhead and the first of a slew of friends and family members for Barbie, the blue-eyed blonde who appeared four years earlier and has been one of the world's top-selling dolls ever since. In Barbie-land, Midge — who, like Barbie, now comes in other shades — married boy-doll Alan in 1991, and the couple has a 3-year-old son, Ryan.

The pregnant Midge, who wears a tiny white wedding ring, has a detachable magnetic stomach that allows easy "delivery" of the baby, and comes with tiny crib, cradle, changing table, baby toys and even a tiny baby monitor. Alan and Ryan are sold separately. The baby also can get a first checkup from "Dr. Barbie," also sold separately.

".....had so much fun shopping for cool baby stuffs with her girlfriends. She found a really trendy diaper bag....."


What a wrong message. Should've say something like this.....

"....had so much stress shopping for expensive diapers. She had to decide which to buy milk or diapers. Oh, baby's daddy don't give her no money....."

Yeah, my grandson's dad is always "gonna send money" until my daughter doesn't file for child support. Then he just never has it "right now" BUT, he's "gonna send money when I get my check" uh.......yeah
He'll soon be wishing that he sent money (instead of just promising her $50 a week- but getting it to her 3-4 times in 6 months). Because, she finally filed (after 9 months of bullshit) and he WILL be paying $100 a week.
Having said that, my grandson has many allergies so:
Special formula- expensive
Special diapers and soap, skin lotion, etc
About the WHOLE $100/week just for these items.
My daughter loves him but now she is working, taking care of baby and going to college.
It's rough.....and she just turned 20.
Her plan was: Work part time and Finish college, get married, start career, have baby
Reality is: Work full time PLUS take care of baby, go to school part time, no intention of getting married to hi-school sweetheart (baby's daddy), hopefully a career in a few years.
Designer shoes and clothing have now become Walmart and Payless.
She saves change to get gas for the car which she borrows from her cousin. Oh, the Mustang her daddy gave her when she turned 18? Sold to buy baby items, furniture, etc. Boyfriends guitars (nice ones, he was in a rockband)? Sold when the baby got sick and they didn't have money for his medications and special formula.
His $460 leather jacket. Sold (to me, I live in California but they wouldn't just take the money from me) to get another used washer when theirs broke down.
Their relationship, gone from the stress of 2 babies trying to take care of a baby, especially one with physical illnesses.
Yeah, Barbie with a messy hairdo looking 3/4 insane, large dark circles under her eyes. Now THAT would be reality!

Nope, not true. A nicely done fake, and a hilarious one at that. The food stamps are a nice touch.

[WryBread]

Yep. A detachable stomach to deliver the baby. Now that is going to cause some confusion among the youngsters.

We do need a Barbie-Mom and KenBabyDaddy set along the lines that Crickett describes. I am sorry that your daughter is going through this, Crickett. I hope her spermdribbler wakes up to his responsibilities.

Even Palin's daughter though well cushioned by class and financial privilege may find that purity ring was not about pie-in-the-sky, but rather about trading teenagehood for adult burdens.

Has anyone heard about "Purity Proms?" They are big deals with gowns, etc., only the girls come with their Dads as dates and then pledge their virginity to him until he turns it over to their husband. Then I guess they wear a purity ring. Something creepy and incestuous about this to me. What do you think?

That would be great.....give them something to freak out about.

I'm not sure if it was actually Barbie or not, but when I was 9 or so, I had a Barbie House with an elevator, a car (not sure what kind), and a "Barbie" that had a belly that clicked on and off, and there was a baby inside. Seriously, it was over 20 years ago, but I had one. So, it doesn't sound like a hoax.
