hooray mattel! you've outdone yourself!

I have to give Mattel and the designers of Barbie credit for making an already inaccessible ideal of the female form even more so!  It wasn't enough that 39" boobs don't go with 19" waists, or that most human beings don't walk around on legs  two times longer than their torso, the equivalent of six feet tall, 100 pounds and a size four. It wasn't enough that they created an ideal that was already underweight and unable to bear children because it is most likely, she wouldn't have begun menstruating to begin with, they had to go and create an ideal so impossible that a woman who looked like this, would most likely have died of heart failure due to an electrolyte imbalance.

Viola! The Top Model Barbie. So let's rush right out ladies and buy all three for our daughters so they can go around for the rest of their lives feeling inferior and abnormal. They'll think their arms and legs and necks are too fat and too short, and their hair, well, surely there's not enough of it. Well, at least they'll feel good their heads aren't two sizes too large for their bodies.

I'm just sick of this crap. Sorry.
