To be perfectly honest, I was just trying to get a rise out of you. When Lileks first posted this, I sent it to someone else, who made plenty of salient points about the "reality" of Barbie and the "message" little girls received from her. That said, I don't have a daughter and, if for no other reason than I know I'll turn into a complete basketcase, I hope I never have one. I just couldn't handle the pressure, would never be able to say no to her but would probably threaten to kill any filthy boy who stepped within five feet of her (because I know how boys are, especially the "sweet" seeming "innocent" and "nice" ones). They'd have to lock me up in a padded room and throw away the key. Now, if you don't mind, my son turns 7 today (SEVEN!!!!) and I have to go buy him some toy guns.
It's really all too confusing for me.lol omg! Then I know JUST what to get Nick! a role model (http://www.kidrobot.com/shop.php?Category=12-Inch%20Action%20Figures&sku=5556&image=2) Took me a sec, but I figured out the 'LV' is Louis Vuitton! how essential! *cracking myself up*
