Barbie’s Pooping Dog for Kids Ups the Ante for Screwball Ideas

By Thursday November 16, 2006

Could this be any worse than “Betsy-Wetsy?” Yes. The shift has moved away from motherhood responsibilities to dog ownership training. You be the judge as to which we need more.

    I see on the Barbie website that they also have a cat who “wets” her litter box…

    I have two young kids so the only TV we watch is the unholy trinity of the Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and the Disney Channel.

    In other words, I’ve been hearing about this product for months. A friend of mine told me that his daughter wanted one for her birthday, he thought she was crazy. I told him it existed and he thought I was joking. He was shocked to actually find it.

    I personally think that Mattel does stuff like this so collectors go crazy and buy them up. Remember that “gay” Ken from several years back that sold out in a few weeks?!

    They should try dealing with a 90 lb. lab with diarrhea running to the door whilst loosing the battle for approximately 30 feet, on carpet of course.

    That’s why dogs are covered with hair – so they can live outside.

    Mattel knows what they are doing. My kids would love this toy. I guess that doesn’t say much for my parenting skills but most little kids love this type of thing. Exhibit A:

    We shouldn’t be ashamed of our natural body functions, but c’mon, there is a limit .

    #7 – “I personally think that Mattel does stuff like this so collectors go crazy and buy them up. “

    Ya think?

    I went through a phase when my son was younger where I was buying up action figures. Dreaded Star Wars action figures no less… This was before the new trilogy, so i wasn’t a militant anti-Star Wars geek yet.

    There were certain figures (Lea, as I recall) that were deliberately made rare to create an artificial demand. These are kids toys… you know… For kids… So that really pissed me off.
