Barbie's a threat to the American children - but THIS twist was new..!

[Svenskaflicka]

Barbie is confusing American children about what gender they belong to. Is this just a designing faux pas, trying to cater to kids who don't want to state what gender they are, or is this some elaborate scheme to try and secretely lure innocent children into becoming bisexual and/or transsexual?

Several, but no black horse.

I would think Ken would be a little more confusing considering he has the same shaved Barbie parts but a bobbit dick? The only problem with Barbie that's confising is to boys wondering 'why are there no holes?'

Perhaps the third alternative was directed at Ken itself..?

Itself -lol - I have no doubt.

I saw the word 'Concerned' and closed the window. I don't need to read it.

Any organisation with 'Concerned' has a paranoid agenda to fill.

Any kid over the age of five who is confused about their gender only needs to look down their pants. At that age they seem to already know.

But you missed all the funny bits?

"Is Mattel taking a play right from the homosexual agenda playbook?"

Damnit, heterosexuals don't even get an agenda, and now we're behind in the playbook department too?

The best line for me was toward the end: Barbie is a little suspect to begin with.

You laugh, but I still recall a phone conversation I had at the animal shelter with a woman calling to report finding someone's Jack Russel terrier. I asked if it was male or female and she said that she didn't know. I asked her if she could check and she asked me how. !

d'oh!

I thought it was pretty funny. I think the weirdest part was where they talked about the conferences where there were surgeons offering to remove women's breasts. That seems pretty unbelievable to me.

I find it hard to believe that anybody, even the people themselves, can take these people seriously. That seemed even more bizarre than Jerry Falwell, or whoever, claiming the Teletubbies promote homosexuality.

I had that happen occasionally. I also had a lot of men come in and not want the male they wanted to adopt to be neutered because, well, it was severe projection.

I once had lady come in and think a stray (aggressive) Rottie was hers -- she asked me to check if the dog had a scar on his testicles.

Ah, yes. Seen that one many a time. I think the female version is the insistance that the animal must experience the joys of motherhood at least once. I give you all my word, I have never seen a cat pining because she chose career over family.

Yikes! I think the only answer to that is "Here's the cage, call me when you're done."

We did have a man call once to ask if we had his tortoise. The staffer on the phone started into the usual routine - you're the best person to identify your pet, we can't look through them for you because we have dozens of similar animals (although not usually tortoises) - when he stopped her and explained that we'd definitely know if we had his. It was a 70-pound African land tortoise and we did indeed have it. Ooooh, HIM! Yes indeed, he's happily sitting in the wildlife room devouring the better part of a produce department. Nice animal; a big, happy, friendly boulder. But how on earth does one lose track of a 70-pound tortoise as high as my knee?

Really good question. It's not like they move so fast or anything.

Okay, you asked for it!

We once had a lady try to return a male cat because she didn't realize that when we neutered it, it would lose all sexual desire. She wanted it to satisfy her female cat. (As far as I know this was not a euphemism.) She kept on insisting her female had needs. I had to walk away. She then asked the shelter manager if SHE had needs, and how she would feel if they weren't satisfied.

And to this day I can't shake the idea of her possibly lighting candles, playing a little Barry White, and trying to set the mood.

I would have assumed a tortie cat. I gave that only you can identify your pet speech too many times to count.

My favorite time was when I guy called to ask if we had his shepherd mix. Now at any given time we had several, and I'd seen someone's description of a pet not match the reality of the pet too many times. There was no way I was going to say yes or no. He insisted I would know his dog because it would react to its name. What was the name? Dog. I told him that most dogs would have a reaction if I said "Dog" to them. He said this would be different because I would be saying his actual name. I told him he needed to come in. He, of course, cursed me 10 ways from Sunday.

Does Barbie have a horse?

As I recall, she does, but I couldn't tell you what the frikin' thing's name is. I'm certain that you would be a mucj better companion for her anyway, Shangie.

Found this for you. Barbie's Horse

I think she has a pony but not a horse. You might be too big for her.
