To capture eighties nostalgia and to appeal to today's totally-righteous-ultra-hip, Mattel has plans for a new 'Mullet Barbie'. The legendary doll will have the extremely popular 'mullet' haircut. Mullet Barbie will have other features: -Black parachute pants and gray pirate boots -A set of mock VanHalen concert tickets -'77 Trans Am (with the headliner falling down) -Trans Am will have two different bumper stickers with sayings of 'HOT FOR TEACHER' and 'I DON'T FEEL TARDY'. News of the doll has produced mixed reactions. "Dude, she's tubular!" said Sally Smith from just outside of St Louis in South County. "I totally think the Mullet Barbie rocks," agreed Sally's friend Nicole, "Like, Fer Sure!" Likewise in Arkansas, "Yip, that totally dang cool Mullet (pronounced 'muller') Barbie is totally dang cool!" But in Ladue opinions were quite the opposite, "Get that thing away from me," said Tiffany Rothchilds. "I'm on my way to the spa." Another young lady shouted from her BMW, "Like gag me with a spoon! That thing is gnarly." Others said similar things. Men in white shirts, ties, and carrying brief cases dreamed up the new Mullet Barbie with the aid of a new super computer using computerized simulated shopping formulas. They report, "The computer algorithm says that the time is NOW for the Mullet." |
