OT- Ken and Barbie SPLIT UP!

[thomas7g]

LOL I just saw it on the news! Apparently Mattel is now advertising that infamous loving pair of dolls as having a spat. And now they have broken up though they are still friends.

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[bsg1fan1975]

Omg! So who are they with now! The doll versions of Janet and Michael Jackson?

[nccdee]

Are you surprise? Wasn't there rumors about Ken and GI Joe? Just kidding. 43 years together, thats 42 years 11 months and 29 days longer than Britney Spears' marriage. :laugh:

nccdee

[thomas7g]

The Micheal Jackson Doll is only interested in playing with little boys.

The Janet Jackson Doll has been recalled because of reported clothing malfunctions. :devil:

[jewels]

Ken & Barbie splitting up just before Valentine's Day? Two words: Marketing Ploy.

[Jeeper]

What took Barbie that long....I mean, Plastic moulded hair, the guy never had a job....not to mention he's short a few parts! (I have a five year old who has ton's of Barbies and one *1* Ken......Go Figure....) I mean, that Barbie has had dozens of Jobs (Hmmmm....She can't stay employed for any length of time?), she has EVERYTHING (Ferarri, Jeep, Porsche, etc)......

Just wonderin.....

[bsg1fan1975]

Well, ya know where Barbie got all that stuff? It certainly wasn't from Ken! She was the one sleeping with GI Joe!

[unowhoandwhy]

I wanted to comment on this post, but am still too devestated by the news that my old friends have split up.
:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I mean, who would have thought that Barbie would ever leave Ken? He might be missing a few parts, but he's made out of plastic, a little substitution wouldn't be noticed...

:devil:

[Raymar3d]

Geez,

Just had a daughter, and now Barbie and Ken break up....

Sheesh,

Ken

[bsg1fan1975]

Poor Ken. I guess its back to the trailer park for him now! Barbie won't let him stay in the dream house!

[Titon]

oye!

[bsg1fan1975]

Well she can't have Ken fighting with GI Joe to see which one gets to sleep in the bed with her! They'd mess up her pretty walls!

[skippercollecto]

As a long-time Barbie doll collector (why do you think my Internet name is skippercollector?), I can tell you that Ken will most likely return. Mattel has discontinued the doll before.
A little history: Ken (a much skinnier, preppier version) was sold from 1961 to 1966. After Hasbro introduced GI Joe in 1965, Mattel took Ken off the market to revamp him. No Kens were available in 1967 and 1968. A more buff version, with larger muscles and a completely different head mold, returned in 1969.
As for Blaine, Ken's so-called competition, that boy doll was introduced in 2000. He's popular with adult collectors but I don't know if little girls play with him, and I'm not sure how much longer Mattel will make him. I don't care for Blaine myself because he looks too much like Leonardo DiCaprio. Ken's had competition before, most notably the Rocker Derek doll in the mid-1980s. But Derek lasted only two years.
To further confuse all of you, the Barbie dolls sold in Brazil in the mid-1980s had no Ken at all--her boyfriend there was named Bob!

Hey, it's more realistic this way! Isn't it?

:wtf: :D

[cranky1c]

Has anyone considered the possibility of a Ken - Blaine romance, with Barbie doing a "Will and Grace" thing?

[Muffit]

Hmm... I heard Ken took off with one of the sheep from the Serta commercial - something about getting the wool pulled over his eyes... :D

:muffit:

[callsignfalcon]

Not only did I hear that Ken and Barbie split on the news ((surprisingly during my lunch break.... our school used some funds and bought tv's for the commons.... a BIG waste by the way... what we really needed was air conditioning -_-)) But aparently Kens "sexuality" was also being questioned... :/:

I aggree its a huge marketing toy... apparently the new line has Barbie and Blaine as the couple. :...:

[repcisg]

Hi, I'm Bob.

[bsg1fan1975]

ok now the toy world has gone over the edge!

[braxiss]

oh the humanity

[bsg1fan1975]

run for your Life!

[thomas7g]

I wonder if this new kind of Barbie realism will ever have to deal with STDs?

:devil:

IT's called PARONIA ...........the PRIEST is afraid that the breaking up of
ken and barbie is the end of civilization as we know it :laugh:

If I were the Priest I'd be more angry at the MINI and shows that are
like that then at ken and barbie breaking up :/:

[bsg1fan1975]

true! Its the fall of our great civilization that causes paranoia!

[shiningstar]

Definately .....I think that Priest has his common sense a little skewerd.

[bsg1fan1975]

you mean like a bamboo skewer?

Can't wait for Kev to get home, got dinner roasting right now. Making lemon pepper raost pork, instant mashed potaoes and a veggie!

[shiningstar]

No ........it's an expression that a friend of mine would use .......................

[bsg1fan1975]

okies.

Dinner was absolutely perfect last night!

[shiningstar]

okies.

Dinner was absolutely perfect last night!

Yummmmmmmm glad it was.

Oh I talked to my mother skewerd is definately from the bamboo
or metal skewers ...................at least that's what she said.

She said when she says someone is Skewerd or their value system
is .......then it's like they sold out and they just threw their values
on the spicket .............or SKEWER so to speak.

[emerita]

Or maybe Ken will run off with Blaine....can't you just see the look on Barbie's face?????

[bsg1fan1975]

shiningstar I know what that feels like I'm starting week four of the coughing and hacking crap. codein will help a lot to relax the bronchial air ways and stop the coughing. like 222's or tylenol 1's, 2's or 3's...then you can get a break from it and get some uninterupted sleep, and don't end up with aching chest muscles! take care of yourself

[bsg1fan1975]

codeine is fine for sleep. When i went through foot surgery I was prescribed Vicodin. Took one at night and it knocked me right out. During the day it was advil!

Too late for the aching chest muscles ...........but I got the codine cough syrup

(((((((((((((((((((GROUP HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))) :heart:

[bsg1fan1975]

:P: those group hugs really do help! ;)

[skippercollecto]

Skipper wouldn't be interested in running off with Ken. She's had three boyfriends of her own: Ricky, Scott and Kevin.

I warned you people that I know too much about Barbie dolls!

[Muffit]

I remember Poindexter from the 50's. Such a goofy name! We had the Barbie Prom game, and you were always afraid Poindexter would win her hand for the date!

Don't know if they ever made the doll...
:muffit:

[bsg1fan1975]

She had a boyfriend named Kevin?

Oh man, is my fiance going to get teased tonight!!!!!

At least his name isn't KEN ................. the barbie leaving ken
is the talk of the town over here :wtf:

If you want me to, I can have photos of the three dolls (Ricky, Scott and Kevin) posted like I did with the Bob and Derek dolls.
Mary

[skippercollecto]

Actually, Barbie might have had better luck with a boy named Poindexter. Somebody with that name would have become the head of his own computer corporation and would have more money than Bill Gates.
By the way, in most of the novels that have been written about Barbie, Ken has always been an architect. Good money, but not as much as Poindexter!

Goodness, I'd hate to see the other models! I'll stick with Ken, thanks. And now that he's single... California is a community property state, so he must have snagged half of Barbie's things. I'd like a couple of horses and some cars and some...
