Come on Barbie let's go party

It was announced this week by Matel, sales of Barbie are down 18% for the year. I wonder if this has anything to do with the 18% increase of men buying Harleys that I reported last week? *Shudder* The toy company is scrambling to create an updated version of the doll that will be more appealing not only to a new generation of girls but boys as well. How about Smoking Barbie, or Anatomically Correct Barbie, or Swallowing Barbie? I know I'd buy the last one especially if they made an anatomically correct G.I. Joe.
