Didn't Ken end up with Peter? (ah... no some pun intended)

I saw that sweater and thought of "Underdog".

Poor Ken never had a "Peter". He was emasculated down to just that little bump of a vagina like Barbie.

Poor Ken, Barbie owns everything, he's just a boy toy!(without a toy) :lol:

I thought Ken did Barbie's little sister Skipper before dumping Barbie after falling for the star quarterback in the team shower. Or did he cross the line when he caught Barbie pleasuring her self on the shifter of his Vette? Well we caught hell when we turned a friends sisters Barbie into the first ever suicide bomber doll with firecrackers.

Like the neighbor kid in the movie 'Toy Story'.

Gator Guy, I don't think you're old enough to have turned Barbie into the 1st ever suicide bomber doll. Barbie came around in '59 and fireworks have been around since dirt and boys have been around even longer.

I couldn't find the video, but Eddie Murphy did a skit about the anatomically correct Michael Jackson doll. He ended the skit by pulling down the doll's pants and giving the audience a full-frontal view -- of missing genitalia. "Aha! Just as I expected!"

If I've found the right info this happened on SNL in Jan of 1985 when EM was hosting the show.

An oldie but goodie:

A little girl was sitting in a department store Santa's lap explaining to him what she wanted for Christmas: "I want a Barbie doll and a G.I. Joe," she said.
The Santa looked confused and said, "I thought Barbie comes with Ken."
"Oh, no," she replied. "Barbie comes with G. I. Joe. She just fakes it for Ken."

Ba-da-bump!
