All you Barbie-decapitators make me worry. I was one of those kids who was respectful of toys. I mean, they broke accidentally sometimes, but there was no cutting of dolls' hair or drawing on them. What if MY KID turns out to be a Barbie tattooer? I'd want to smack her. Must keep showing her Toy Story and telling her not to be a Sid.

Signed, law and order, ma'am.

I hear a lot about people decapitating/dismembering Barbies. She seems to rouse something in even those too young to know why. Still love the story about one Christmas someone slipped into a toy store and switched the voice boxes on the (talking) Barbies and G.I. Joes.

And early on in Barbie's history they came up with a way to change Barbie's hairstyle - interchangeable heads. They were designed to pop off - if you wanted to change Barbie's hair, just pull off one head and stick on another. Distinctly creepy.

Note to self: law and order kills threads. Or possibly it was the frat-tastic a-holes.

Oh, phew, Toddson lives!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

(I am quite loudly refraining from questioning the taste of Jesse's local coworkers.)

I know! At least for me it's the kind of place I don't go normally, so it is different, but not exactly a taste of the local.

Hubby will not watch Toy Story 1, because he was so horrified that there were toys left in Sid's clutches. The escape of Woody and Buzz was not enough to keep him from thinking of the tortures that would be visited on the others. He did not believe that Sid changed his ways.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A while back I posted an article (in the NYT?) about researches studying children's attitudes to Barbie. They found Barbie-torture to be quite widespread. The researchers were a little bit shocked.

Conclusion: children are horrific little hellions. Only the researchers were surprised.

A lot of Barbie multilation isn't torture, I'd imagine -- it's just an attempt to find more things to do with the damn doll!
