A friend and I went Christmas shopping for his nieces, and in the aisle of things pink and horrid, we made a discovery. There is a series known as the "Festivals of the World" Barbies. On the shelf, however, was a Barbie representing only one festival of the world. And I think perhaps she should not have been in the children's section.
See, this Barbie was Oktoberfest Barbie. I kid you not. With Princess Leia hair (coiled and coiled and coiled and...), a frighteningly short dirndl, and a beer mug—yes, a BEER MUG—in one hand, there was something dirty and creepy about her. Because, y'know, Barbie just isn't creepy enough. It was wrong. So very wrong. Up the Skirt Barbie should not exist.
