quote:NEW YORK (AP)--Just like J.Lo and Ben, the romance is over for Barbie and 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.''
``Like other celebrity couples, their Hollywood romance has come to an end,'' said Arons, who quickly added that the duo ``will remain friends.''
I hate to say this, but I'm glad I won't be there when my sister hears of this. She'll be devastated. Maybe, if she's lucky, she won't hear.

Is there special "divorce papers" or "divorce cloths" that go along with this? Meaningless ad campaign.

quote:Arons hinted Wednesday that the separation may be partially due to Ken's reluctance to getting married. All those bridal Barbie dolls in toy chests around the globe are really just examples of Barbie's wishful thinking, she explained.
The article carefully avoids mentioning if they were dating all this time or shacking up.
Doesn't matter. Ken's got his suitcases piled up in front of Barbie's Dream House. Posts: 4344 | Registered: Mar 2003

Is it just me, or is it suspicious that the news of Barbie's breakup hit the news at the exact same time as the rumors about John Kerry having an affair?
Maybe I should email Drudge - It looks like it might meet his criteria for speculative reporting.

The latest unsubstantiated, possibly fabricated rumor about the break-up is that scottneb's Care Bear had something to do with it. That's the real reason it almost died!Posts: 4344 | Registered: Mar 2003

No, what I don't get is how you can break up plastic dolls? Is this a marketing ploy, or something? More girls will buy Ken now that he's single? Are they going to announce next that Pikachu has been visiting the local Pokemon brothel? I don't understand the reasoning behind this!

Excellent! Now Ken and I have an excuse to dig a pit and drown that BIT@H in a pool of lighter fluid before we toss in the butt of a nice Cuban cigar into her fiery tomb.
POOSCH!
But hey, we're not bitter. Now, where'd that 12" Queen Amidala doll go?...

No! Not Ken. He said all the Weightlifting magazines belonged to Bert and Ernie, who are so so obviously an urm...item.

How many years had Harrison Ford and his wife been married? And has anyone seen his earring yet? What on earth is up with that?
