The Hotness of Geek Barbie
The world order has finally reconciled itself! Barbie no longer thinks “Math class is tough!” Now she’s lighting up cubicle jockeys with her smokin’ bod and her tight pants! She will be fetching lattes for no one.
I actually like Barbie, to be honest. I know she’s supposed to be evil and make little girls feel badly about themselves, but I had about 20 Barbies when I was an impressionable young thing and I’ve never had body issues. Besides, how can you not respect a girl who can maintain that posture and walk around 24/7 on her tip-toes with a rack like that? Barbie’s a badass, I don’t care what the angry hippies say.

Erk! AT the risk of sounding like a petty academic instead of a real nerd, plagiarism seems to leap to my lips. Pray see Peter E. Zale, Techies Unite, McGraw-Hill, 2000, ISBN 0-07-136073-5. This is a disturbingly close resemblance to Helen, Sweetheart of the Internet.
This is great! I wrote a similar post on my blog. I love how they took a survey to decide what would be Barbie´s next career.
