Your morning cup of stereotypes.
And what a great way to teach our gals about finance during this holiday season o' debt - a credit card that doesn't run out.
Thanks to Amy for the link.

Wait a minute... you mean that there will be consequences for using my credit card for all my holiday shopping?
All this time, I thought it was just some kind of magic gift card.
Uh oh.
oh..my...god... thats insane.
A credit card that never runs out! Woo!
And the bills all go to my Sugar Daddy, no doubt. Does he look like Ken or is there a doll they haven't told girls about yet?
I was watching I Love the 90s the other day and they had the talking Barbie on. When I was 9 I didn't realize how empty and vapid all the stuff she said was. Now I understand why Lisa Simpson was so outraged by the talking Malibu Barbie. I wish I'd had a Lisa Lionheart doll instead.
In response to Kmari1222's comment, I was going to ask if they have a Flava Flav doll. *shrugs* Random.
Uh... how is that even supposed to be fun?

I know. I was thinking about it and realized that they were trying to get girls to pretend to finance crap products that they already own. There's no time in my childhood when I would have found that entertaining.
But, clare, females, ALL females, loooooove to shop, doncha know? It's fun because it's inherently female (and pink)! Now, stop worrying your pretty little head about it and go consume! Fun!

The first thing I thought of was how many possible combinations there were and how much they would "cost" (10 x 10 x $175 = $1,750). But wait -- the money is endless!
This also reminded me of a neat little SNL skit:

Dont forget the baby wets itself doll. I started cracking up so hard when I saw this commercial on tv. For 'minds' sakes buy your daughter something she can engage herself with, like something she can build!!!Legos, glove and mitt, not training aides for being mommy when shes 3!

Gopher - my thoughts exactly re: the baby wets itself doll. I was a little irritated this Christmas when my grandmother bought my five month old daughter a soft little baby doll. What does she need a doll for, she's a baby herself! But then I got over it when Iris crawled over to the doll, grabbed it, and tossed it aside to get at the television remote that was lying underneath it. All those buttons to push! Fun!
Did anyone else find the voice in the background saying "Buy It!" over and over disturbing? Talk about not-so-subliminal messages.
