Um, wow.

With my foot propped up, still apartment hunting (kill me) and watching an inane show on "Dogs with Jobs" (sedate me), I just saw a contender for scariest commercial ever.

A chubby, blond, earnest and lonesome looking woman imagines a table full of riotously giggling women.

"Our girls' nights out are never this fun!"

Close up on chubby, blond, earnest, face, proud this time, but still hopeful and insecure.

Cut to same woman standing in the aisle of a hallmark store, while the voice over introduces a collection of grown-up party favours. Themed with...

BARBIE.

FUCKING BARBIE.

As if it were not enough that she fucking haunted us all through childhood with unattainable ideals, but here she fucking is, haunting us in our twenties, thrities, telling us we'll be popular with lots of friends, if we can only fucking be like BARBIE.

AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!


What the fuck?
