First J.Lo and Ben, now Barbie & Ken…
After 43 years as one of the world's prettiest pairs, the perfect plastic couple is breaking up. The couple's "business manager," Russell Arons, vice president of marketing at Mattel, said that Barbie and Ken "feel it's time to spend some quality time — apart."
Why!?!? But Why?
Arons hinted Wednesday that the separation may be partially because of Ken's reluctance to get married. All those bridal Barbie dolls in toy chests around the globe are really just examples of Barbie's wishful thinking, she explained.
OK, truth be told I could care less. But the fact that the AP is reporting on it made it funny.
Not quite as funny as what they’re not yet reporting though…
"Barbie's wishful thinking"...my god, I am still howling with laughter at this one.
Thanks, Clancy. That laugh was NEEDED!
If you'll excuse me, I am now going to go torch Ken's Trans Am, in an act of vengeance on Barbie's behalf.
