This is real, it looks like an Onion story though.

QuoteToymaker Mattel's marketing vice president says only that the glamorous couple decided to separate but will "remain friends".

On the new "love interest"

QuoteFew details are known about Blaine, except that he is Australian and has a boogie board.

I R going nuts with anticipation of more news on this Blaine character.

Mattel Presents, Homicidal Ken! Comes with ski-mask, block of cyanide, baseball bat, and a bottle of 409 for those nasty blood stains. With new Homicidal Ken, one can do anything, even get back together with their ex-wife after murdering ones love intrest!

Can it be that they found even less WMDs in Iraq?

shbaz · Sat 14/02/2004 04:03:28

LOL Goldmund. Must be.

Actually, anatomically speaking, Ken has no package.

Not that I spend a lot time looking ...

That is ...

er ...

LordHart · Sat 14/02/2004 05:16:09

If he has less of a package then Ken, then Barbie must be turning into a lesbian... mmm...

Perverts

I never really liked the Aussie surfer type, but finaly REVENGE!!!

<cheerleader> GO AUSSIE! Give me an A! *cartwheels out of the room* </cheerleader>

She was doing the dirt on Ken with this Blaine fellow, eh?

I reckon it's about time for some political correctness. Blaine should be black. Or! Blaine should be a woman! Lesbian Barbie! Get them while they're hot!

Of course, Blaine will actually be a white christian male, like all good presidents of America.

I'm pretty sure they don't tend to specify the dolls' religions.

Las Naranjas · Sat 14/02/2004 09:49:16

They might if the aforesaid package was included.

Bluke4x4 · Sat 14/02/2004 13:55:02

Divorce Barbie! Includes all of Ken's stuff.

Meowster · Sat 14/02/2004 19:10:53

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha!!!!

And the new Ken comes with a cardboard box and an empty beer can.

Domino · Sat 14/02/2004 19:27:51

I always thought that Ken was a FLAMING Homo!! He never really had any interest in Barbie anyways. Now he can move on and date the MEN of his dreams.

I'm sure he took some of Barbies clothes so he can have something to wear to the Bars, if you know what i mean.

Maybe the report was wrong and Blaine is Kens new beau? :o

LMAO... that's pretty good.

Man, my little sister is going to be heartbroken when she hears about all this... oh, wait, she's almost 16 now, so maybe not...

Me, I always enjoyed pulling their heads off, or cutting off all of their hair.

Bluke4x4:I had that magazine... I remember that... bag lady barbie and wino ken.

That reminds me of an old MAD mag I have, with a fake toy catalog with homeless Barbie and wino Ken.
