> Dear Santa,
>
> Listen you fat little troll, I've been helping you out every
> year, playing at being the perfect Christmas present,
wearing skimpy
> bathing suits in frigid weather, and drowning in fake tea
from
> one too many tea parties, and I hate to break it to ya
Santa, but IT'S
> DEFINITELY PAYBACK TIME! There had better be some changes
around here this
> Christmas, or I'm gonna call for a nationwide meltdown (and
> trust me,you won't wanna be around to smell it). So, here's
my holiday
> wish list.
>
> 1. A nice, comfy pair of sweat pants and a frumpy,
oversized sweatshirt.
> I'm sick of looking like a hooker. How much smaller
are these bathing
> suits gonna get? Do you have any idea what it feels
like to have nylon
> and velcro crawling up your butt?
>
> 2. Real underwear that can be pulled on and off.
Preferably
> white. What bonehead at Mattel
decided to cheap out and MOLD
> imitation underwear to my skin?!? It
looks like cellulite!
>
> 3. A REAL man...maybe GI Joe. Heck , I'd take
Tickle-Me Elmo over that
> wimped-out excuse for a boyfriend
Ken. And what's with that earring
> anyway? If I'm gonna have to suffer with
him, at least make him (and
> me) anatomically correct.
>
> 4. Arms that actually bend so I can push the aforementioned
Ken-wimp
> away once he is anatomically correct.
>
> 5. Breast reduction surgery. I don't care whose arm
you have to twist,
> just get it done.
>
> 6. A jogging bra. To wear until I get the surgery.
>
> 7. A new career. Pet doctor and school teacher just
don't cut it.
> How about a systems analyst? Or
better yet, an advertising account
> exec! Maybe something on Wall Street?
>
> 8. A new, more 90s persona. Maybe "PMS
Barbie", complete with
> miniature container of chocolate chip
cookie dough ice cream and a bag
> of chips; "Animal Rights
Barbie", with my very own paint gun,
> outfitted with a fake fur coat and
handcuffs; or "Stop Smoking
> Barbie", sporting a removable
Nicotrol patch and equipped with several
> packs of gum.
>
> 9. No more McDonald's endorsements. The grease is
wrecking my
> vinyl.
>
> 10.Mattel stock options. It's been 37 years-I think I
deserve it.
>
> OK, Santa, that's it. Considering my valuable
contribution to society,
> I don't think these requests are out of line. If you
disagree, then
> you can find yourself a new bimbo doll for next Christmas.
It's that
> simple.
>
> Yours truly,
> Barbie
