BBC: What would a real life Barbie look like?

<snip>
She turns 50 on Monday, but Barbie has a remarkable figure for a woman of any age. So what if you scaled her up to human proportions?

Inhuman proportions.

1. I was about to say a Fox News telebabe, but....

....good lord I can't get over that pic.

2. The 7ft Libby's head is too small. Barbie has a HUGE head.

I wish they would have shown that. It would look enormous.

3. If you want to see something really freaky, do this with Raggedy Ann.

I can believe people are still freaking out over Barbie.

4. That would be terrifying.

6. Thanks for the horrifying flashback to a sick day from elementary school

I stayed home from school one day because of a really high fever, and, because I was home from school, I had the TV on all day. There was some soap opera on and one of the characters was having some sort of childhood trauma flashback that manifested itself in being attacked by someone in a giant Raggedy Ann suit.

Because of the fever, it was profoundly vivid and has bothered me to this day.

I'll be under my bunk.

5. Why is a 40 year old brunette's face in place of an 18 year old's bleached blond? And

Barbie the plastic has bigger boobs compared to the 'real life' comparison too.

7. It'd be cool to see a 7' 6" Barbie...

And just think what a 8' Ken would do to her...

:hide:

8. That is a pretty crappy comparison... now a real life Strawberry Shortcake

or Cabbage Patch doll.... now that would be frightening.
