A Hazmat Barbie dressed in a stylish Tyvek suit accessorized with real lead test strips and a respirator. Barbie can test Chinese-made toys for lead content.

Lemme guess, she's hopped up on GHB laced microdots, riding a suspiciously vibrating harry potteresque witches' broom. |

Chemistry is not magic, [Custardguts]. Also, this would be a good role model for young girls. |
|
|
Oh, so we're pretending that barbie hasn't been a disturbing sex-symbol aimed at pre-teen girls for the last 40 odd years? |
|
|
Great idea. Didn't click on it till now because I thought this was a barbie made of hazederous materials... which would be a horrible satrical joke about recent chinese toy problems... but its not. Crossiant. [+] |

Hey [bubba] I'm agreeing with you here. I'd rather ditch barbie as a so-called role model rather than try to rehabilitate her into something better. |
|
|
Maybe I'm not being clear here. I'm all for producing realistic and deserving role models for kids - scientists, engineers, teachers, doctors, aid workers, etc. I just don't think Barbie is a useful vehicle for this. |
|
|
Maybe I should delete that first anno. I was drunk and can't even remember what point I was trying to make at the time. If I even had one. I certainly wasn't linking science and magic. |

//What, an avaginal, anorexic, post-plastic-surgery bimbo with big hair, a fake smile and legs that look like she got through puberty in five minutes, touting around a white lab coat and a clipboard?// |
|
|
Sounds like the scientists you see in Gillette adverts. Apart from perhaps the avaginal bit. |
|
|
[theleopard] has obviously seen slightly saucier Gillette adverts than I have. |

"Hazmat Barbie! The best a man can get!" |
|
|
For boys, a corresponding "Action Man", with clipboard, pencil, and Local Council Environmental Health badge .... |
|
|
Yeah, but you totally would. |
|
|
I'm not entirely sure I would. I think if you actually met a woman with that sort of leg-to-torso ratio it might look a little weird, much in the same way that even though I love huge breasts, Lolo Ferrari and her silicone cohorts don't really do it for me. |

Found an interesting school ppt helping fix the Barbie perception skewing effect (link). |
|
|
Yes yes, you don't look at fireplaces whilst chopping up kindling, and such. |
|
|
Brings to mind dumbest headline of the past few weeks: "Christmas lights said to contain lead." Bud, if you're eating Christmas tree leads, you've gonna have more immediate problems that a little lead poisoning. |

If barbie were scaled up to life-sized, her legs would be crushed by the weight of her breasts. It's the same principle as why you don't see 10 foot tall ants walking around, so scaling up things is a mute issue. |

Nice. I knew there was reason to frequent this site. Even while drunk. |
