hello everyone! i promised to give you a proper and worthy post. after being back a week now, all i've been doing is running personal errands, hanging out with my friends and tv! i'm not going to talk about my boring errands or my daily hangouts.. i would like to talk about tv!
a lot of useful stuff can be found while watching tv. even though society's outlook on them tends to be negative. most find it useless, a waste of time, too violent and even unhealthy. i completely disagree.. don't get me wrong.. tv can be bad for you IF you don't know how to limit yourself with it. personally, i think tv is one of the best invention in history! even though tv is mainly for entertainment, to me, the box of moving pictures is more than that - it's a source of information. it's a source of learning as well. valuable information is transmitted each day, 24-hours a day to every tv in the world!
so, what have i discovered while watching tv this week. you'd think it'd be something pretty important right? wrong.. here's what i've found out..
KEN AND BARBIE BROKE UP!
yes.. if you're still wondering.. i am talking about the dolls. they actually broke up! maybe some of you know this already because it happened in 2004 but i found it out just a few days ago while i was flipping through channels and a documentary on girl's dolls came up and i was rivetted. (no, not at the dolls.) here's the story according to cnn.com (yes, cnn actually covered the story..)
February 12, 2004
After 43 years as one of the world's prettiest pairs, the perfect plastic couple is breaking up. The couple's "business manager," Russell Arons, vice president of marketing at Mattel, said that Barbie and Ken "feel it's time to spend some quality time -- apart."
"Like other celebrity couples, their Hollywood romance has come to an end," said Arons, who quickly added that the duo "will remain friends."
Arons denied that there was any truth to rumors that the breakup was linked to the Cali (as in California) Girl Barbie, arriving in stores now. To better reflect her single status, Cali Barbie will wear board shorts and a bikini top, metal hoop earrings, and have a deeper tan.
This new style already has attracted a new admirer, Blaine the Australian boogie boarder.
Barbie -- the most popular fashion doll in the world, according to toy maker Mattel -- met Ken on the set of a TV commercial in 1961, and they have been inseparable ever since.
Arons hinted Wednesday that the separation may be partially due to Ken's reluctance to getting married. All those bridal Barbie dolls in toy chests around the globe are really just examples of Barbie's wishful thinking, she explained.
So where does that leave Ken? Said Arons: "He will head for other waves."
