Finally, a Barbie doll of astonishing realism


I never had a Barbie as a child, and here's the really sad part: I never wanted one. But I bet if this particulary model of Barbie had been around at the time I would have begged my mother for one. Why? Because Barbie has a dog who eats her own shit.

Under Product Features, you learn that "You can open Tanner's mouth and feed her dog biscuits". More fun awaits "when Tanner has to go to the bathroom" because "Barbie cleans up with the magnetic scooper."

So let me get this straight: the fun of this doll is essentially totally scatalogical: feed your dog a turd, watch him drop a biscuit (did I get that the right way around?) and shovel the shit. Excellent!

These are going to be yoinked from the shelves faster than the I Hate Math Barbie, mark my words. So I'm going to buy one tomorrow and keep in safe for my eight-year-old son's birthday. He's going to love it.
