ceo barbie

The Onion's 'CEO Barbie' article ends with this:

When your daughter comes home crying because she was passed over for a promotion for the fourth time, what are you going to tell her? It would be easier if she'd been raised with dolls like Glass Ceiling American Girl, Service Sector Bratz, or Maria The White House Maid.

If I say it's excruciatingly funny and so sad I almost peeed, you get what I mean, right? I mean. You know there were people brainstorming racial/ethnic stereotypes to combine with their wacky ironic feministy Barbie, and there's a list of 187 possible dolls somewhere.

This weeks Onion is a classic on many levels (Dick Cheney being dropped from White House HMO, etc.) And I dig your icon. :)

Thank goodness for The Onion -- they're always at their best when things are at their worst, and they consistently help me to feel less crazy. ;)

I love their "What do You Think?" this week about the death of Cheif Justice Renquist.

That is the most depressingly funny thing I've read in a long time.
