Poop Scoopin’ Barbie

Well, I could use a laugh today. How ‘bout you?

So here you go. Barbie has a new canine companion that eats dog biscuits and poops. The pellets remind me of Tic Tacs, though, so you might want to keep them away from those small children in your house who can’t yet distinguish between a breath mint and toy dog feces. We saw this commercial last night and thanks to the Tivo remote, which is teaching my daughters that you can pause and rewind live TV and OH LORD I am not sure that is a good thing, the hubby rewound and replayed in slow motion Barbie’s pooch pooping several times. Miss C was mesmerized.

I always wanted one of those baby dolls that shed tears and wet her diapers when I was a little girl. Little did I know that some day my daughters would be able to play poop scoopin’ Barbie.

    Bless you BlondeMom, for telling the world about this most totally awesome toy: Barbie has a new canine companion that eats dog biscuits and poops. The pellets remind me of Tic Tacs, though, so you might want to keep them…

    You have got to be kidding. No way. What in the hell will they thing of next?!

    oh GAG. I too wanted one of those dollies that would wet her diapers when I was little. wahhhhhh. and look what happened to me?!

  4. Amanda

    Shut up. This stuff is actually on the MARKET?

    I’m laughing so hard I can’t type.

    OMG Julie and I saw that commercial when I was at her house this weekend. We also had to rewind to watch it again (because we were rubbing our eyes in disbelief; all hail DVR!).

  7. mothergoosemouse

    Yeah, our first thought was – those stupid poop pellets will get lost within 30 seconds of opening the box.

    OMG, I LOL at your post title! Poop Scoopin’ Barbie.

    Hmmm…good name for a band.

    Oh that’s too funny. My daughter just HAD to have the Baby Bourn doll that comes with it’s own food and potty for both exit actions. I thought then the same as you about the dolls that only wet their eyes. But now we have pooping dogs. And I hear you on the Tivo joys and curses. Dads. :o P

    Thank you for blogging about this. I was going to. I was shocked when I saw this commercial last week. What has Barbie come to? I showed my husband today and I think he was amazed too…

    Pooper Scooper Barbie…whoulda thunk?

    I am laughing out loud about your husband re-playing in slow motion the part where Barbie’s dog is actually pooping… and Caitlin’s amazement with it! Hahaha

    Ewww. That is too gross.

    Yet, I have a feeling my daughters would be completely into it….

    My first thought, Oh my god you have got to be kidding, then with all the comments, I decided that had already been said. I have had a good laugh this morning, as I always do when I visit your site. I think we will stay away from THAT Barbie thanx.

    I love my tivo as well, my husband and I have tried to scale back on things to save money but I can’t let my tivo go. I like to record quality kids shows during the day while Emily is at school so she has something decent to watch when she comes home. Disney, and Nickelodeon has teeny bopper shows on in the afternoons.(Can’t stand the way she starts talking after watching one of those shows.I told her to quit being sassy one day, she said “MOM I am a kid we are supposed to be sassy”.She received a look from me that didn’t require words to get an “I am sorry”)
    But does your rewind or fast forward get stuck and go right past where you want to play? UGH! I hate that. Especially when it is in FF. I see what happens and then I am over it!

    Not only was I in disbelif, I had to have one Maybe I’m naive, but I gotta think this will someday be a “collectible”. If this item is still on the market come Christmas I will be shocked

  20. Establishing Goals With Your Children. - 1SmartMom.com

    [...] We have decided to give big rewards for filling the chart. For example, Emily did not get the “baby alive” doll that was so hot at Christmas, because well you could not find them, and I was not paying twice the price on ebay for a doll that poops. To me it is right up there with Poop Scoopin Barbie (Yes, they exist.) But I digress. Her cousin DID get one. ( My lovely sister, note the sarcasm, called every store in Atlanta, and drove across town to get the LAST ONE!) So to avoid too much disappointment we told Emily if she can go two months filling her charts, then we will buy her this doll. I have even considered buying it and sticking it on top of the refrigerator as an incentive, but I think it would simply drive us both bat-crazy. So instead I have decided to put a picture of the doll beside the chore chart. Visualizing a goal is just as important for a child as it is for an adult. [...]
