This latest ad was for Barbie and her dog, Tanner, a cute felt-covered pooch that Barbie feeds treats to. So far, so normal.
Then the ad switched to a closeup of the dog's ass, and when you push her tail she drops a brown payload.
Said payload can then be scooped up by Barbie and placed in a handy doody recepticle.
Now ever since I was a kid I thought the myriad outfits, cars, houses, spaceships (yes, there was an astronaut Barbie during the late-1960's) and whatnot were supposed to allow little girls to live out just about any fantasy scenario that they could think of. So does this latest addition to the line mean that little girls harbor dreams of cleaning up steaming piles of dogshit?
The most disturbing part is that I swear the treats look just like the shit.
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, dogs do eat shit, don't they? Do you remember our dog?
um... wow.. eww.. and wow... will this teach little girls responsiblity??? i'm not sure.. but my very first thought was.. brown tic tacs?? .. and then.. wow.. this is a major choking hazard for children under 3... ever the mom here.. Peace.. xoxo
ReplyDeleteMaybe Barbie's gonna star in some German "Art" Films? Tanner's her co-star...
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, this is a re-toy (improved though). I found pooping dog toys at a yard sale a couple years ago and bought them for my niece and nephew. (Why not?)
ReplyDeleteNo worries about the choking. Look very closely. That shit is a jellybean. So, not only does the dog eat shit, so does your kid!
Makes me wish I was a seven year old girl, just so I could ask for it for Christmas. You know what I.m going to ask for it anyway, get ready Santa! I'm a'comin!
ReplyDeleteSo, do the people with the huge Barbie collections actually buy these things? Are they stuck in the back somewhere, behind the Bob Mackie dolls? I've seen pooping toys, but I thought Barbie was "supposed" to be a bit classier...
ReplyDelete"Ick-factor aside, which Madison Avenue idiot thought this would sell? "
ReplyDeleteClearly... A genius!! I will buy this and proudly display it next to my vintage Type 1 Mego Superman!!
I want the toy just to have a very interesting Tic-Tac dispenser!
ReplyDeleteI think its great, its funny as hell, admit it, if you saw it you'd laugh and it teaches responsibility after all if you have a pet you will have to clean up after it!!!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Tanner... Christ.
