What The F*@! ?

This was on CNN.COM when I checked this morning:

NEW YORK (AP) -- Just like J.Lo and Ben, the romance is over for Barbie and Ken.

After 43 years as one of the world's prettiest pairs, the perfect plastic couple is breaking up. The couple's "business manager," Russell Arons, vice president of marketing at Mattel, said that Barbie and Ken "feel it's time to spend some quality time -- apart."

"Like other celebrity couples, their Hollywood romance has come to an end," said Arons, who quickly added that the duo "will remain friends."

Arons denied that there was any truth to rumors that the breakup was linked to the Cali (as in California) Girl Barbie, arriving in stores now. To better reflect her single status, Cali Barbie will wear board shorts and a bikini top, metal hoop earrings, and have a deeper tan.

This new style already has attracted a new admirer, Blaine the Australian boogie boarder.

Barbie -- the most popular fashion doll in the world, according to toy maker Mattel -- met Ken on the set of a TV commercial in 1961, and they have been inseparable ever since.

Arons hinted Wednesday that the separation may be partially due to Ken's reluctance to getting married. All those bridal Barbie dolls in toy chests around the globe are really just examples of Barbie's wishful thinking, she explained.

Another possible factor is Barbie's career. The doll who was "born" Barbie Millicent Roberts in 1959 has been everything from a rock star to military medic, and she's currently marketed in more than 150 countries. According to Mattel, every second, three Barbie dolls are sold somewhere in the world.

So where does that leave Ken? Said Arons: "He will head for other waves."

Just what the hell is the world coming to when cnn.com has to put up news that ken and barbie split up. They're pieces of plastic you dumbass!

Besides, we all knew barbie was a ho. I called it back in grade 3. Dumb hoochie slut, parading her plastic ass off every weekday afternoon and saturday mornings. But did you see her on T.V. on friday nights? noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

That's cause dumb bimbobarbie was shakin her thing in her pink doll house that she converted into a club, while ken was at work making an honest dollar to buy her the fuckin pink cadillac that she drives during the summer with her friends and not him.

Definately a hoochie. Never kept a solid job, always changed her looks and groups of friends and music preferences, and now to top things off, she's a cougar pickin up aussies.

Ken's got it rough now though. Think about it, what chick out there would want to go out with a guy with no dick? Come to think of it... i think ken's a fag. not gay... fag (see previous entry for the difference).

ponder for a moment if you will, this dude wear's sweatervests, there's a doll of him that comes with a little toy poodle, and i swear i've seen him in capri's. Actually, he reminds me of a fag that one of my manager's at the theatre used to date.

But getting back to the topic at hand... just what the hell is this news item doing on the top new lists of the day on cnn.com???

The last two days have seen suicide bombers kill nearly 100 people in Iraq, Israeli and Palestinian tensions are nearing all time highs on the gaza strip, North Korea has unveiled documents about weapons that they've tested on humans, scientists are beginning to clone human embryos, and space rovers are finally learning more and more about the martian surface.

But that's not big news to CNN.COM

To them, the story of the day is that ken and barbie have split up and decided to go their own ways, followed by a story on Harvard University officials approving the publication of a racy erotic magazine on campus.

Wait a minute.....

did someone say "erotic magazine"???.........

brb!
