but seriously... that last post about the 'reborn' dolls got me thinking about those god-awful baby alive dolls.
this is the 'hispantic' version... i'm going to name her guadalupe! because of my love and affection, guadalupe will grow up to be a high-power lawyer with attitude! there's also the african american baby who i'll name kendra and who grows up and runs her local YMCA and is all about the community. and finally there's the 'traditional' caucasian baby who's name will be cindy and she'll grow up to be a tired stripper with no tread left on the tires if you know what i mean...what? no chinese baby? no indian baby? i guess hasbro figures those minority groups don't need mommy training?
what they say:
Originally introduced in 1973, the much-loved BABY ALIVE doll is back to play with a whole new generation of little girls.
She still "eats" and "poops", and now she's more “life-like” than ever. Best of all, your little girl is sure to love playing "mommy” to this special doll as much as you did years ago.
what i say:
women's rights? gender equality? chuck 'em all in the trash bin. women belong barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen! having little girls growing up playing "mommy" or playing "house" is the sneakiest way ever to keep olden times mentalities from ever going away. and also, are those dolls creepy or what???
