Doll Reviews:

I'm a Kid! Only an idiot would get this doll. it stinks and it is freaky to look at.

From a parent: AND WHO ARE THE IDIOTS WHO BUY THIS FOR THEIR KIDS???

I'm a girl: BARBIE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO U????!! YOU ARE UN REALISTIC AND TRASHY!!! YEAH I SOW AGREE WITH THE KIDS REVIEW THIS DOLL IS A S-L-U-T DO NOT BUY!!!

From a Mom: I really just wanted to rate this doll a single, 5-star rating. I don't think educational value is an issue because it's not supposed to be educational. As for durability, I don't know- I keep mine displayed in the box until my daughter is old enough to play with it.

From a collector: I just can't wait to see Ken's reaction to her! Only gripe is the cowl is a little strange when you take it on or off. And the whip could get lost or eaten by a pet pretty easily. But you can have some fun switching out the costume with your other BARBIES!

And from the Defamer.com website…''''

Surefire Sign That Your Movie Marketing Department Is About Ten Minutes From Mass Suicide: The last-ditch recruitment of Barbie to promote your lite S&M stinker to the last demographic not poisoned by your movie's negative hype, seven-year-old girls.

From the combination of strength and sensitivity of an elephant's trunk to the life-saving camouflage of an ant-mimicking beetle, the living world is populated by creatures that seem miraculously designed for the lives they lead. But these complex and brilliantly effective features cannot have come about by undirected chance. That would be equivalent to scaling the sheer face of the mountain of improbability. The only way to explain seemingly designed objects is by slow, gradual evolution - inching cumulatively, almost infinitely slowly by the standards of human history, up the gentle paths on the far side of Mount Improbable.

Richard Dawkins guides the reader through the spectacular mountain passes of the natural world. We are led through the silken world of spiders; we are shown how wings gradually sprouted on the bodies of flightless animals; we see how a fig is a garden for its own teeming population of insects; and we learn how the eye has evolved no less than forty times independently. And through all of it runs the thread of DNA, the molecule of life, responsible for its own destiny on an unending pilgrimage through geological time.

"Are there not still fireflies
Are there not still four-leaf clovers
Is not our land still beautiful
our fields not full of armed enemies
our cities never bombed
by foreign invaders
never occupied
by iron armies
speaking iron tongues
Are not our warriors still valiant
ready to defend us
Are not our senators
still wearing fine togas
Are we not still a great people
in the greatest country in all the world
Is this not still a free country
Are not our fields still ours
our gardens still full of flowers
our ships with full cargoes
Why then do some still fear
the barbarians coming
coming coming
in their huddled masses
(What is that sound that fills the ear
drumming drumming?)
Is not Rome still Rome
Is not Los Angeles still Los Angeles
Are these not the last days of the Roman Empire
Is not beauty still beauty
And truth still truth
Are there not still poets
Are there not still lovers
Are there not still mothers
sisters and brothers
Is there not still a full moon
once a month
Are there not still fireflies
Are there not still stars at night
Can we not still see them
in bowl of night
signalling to us
our manifest destiny?"
