i believe the new look barbie has is one of those reason not that she ugly
is just that she is'nt as beautiful

The need to bring her into reality. How about Ghetto Barbie? Or Street Thug Ken? They could come with a teacher and the remote control can beat the teacher up.(sarcasim, of course)

Bottom line, Barbie is too old to be hanging around now. Let her rest in peace.

> How about Ghetto Barbie?

You know they actually had a set with a pregnant black girl and a swing set with a mixed-color toddler a few years back. I found it very ironic. You can't get them any longer, though.
