It's a tad old, I know, but WHAT THE FUCK???????
Barbie & Ken to split
The romance is over for Barbie and Ken, according to toymakers Mattel.
Russell Arons, vice president of marketing at the US toymaker, said that Barbie and Ken "feel it's time to spend some quality time - apart."
"Like other celebrity couples, their Hollywood romance has come to an end," said Arons, who quickly added the duo "will remain friends."
He denied that there was any truth to rumours that the break-up was linked to the launch of a new-look Barbie.
To better reflect her single status, Cali (short for California Girl) Barbie will wear board shorts and a bikini top, metal hoop earrings, and have a deeper tan.
This new style already has attracted a new admirer, Blaine the Australian boogie boarder.
Barbie - the most popular fashion doll in the world, according to Mattel - met Ken on the set of a TV commercial in 1961, and they have been inseparable ever since.
The company claims three Barbie dolls are sold somewhere in the world every second.
The doll who was "born" Barbie Millicent Roberts in 1959 has been everything from a rock star to military medic, and she's currently marketed in more than 150 countries.
Come on, 'Blaine the Boogie Boarder' ???????????
She may as well be fucking a pink kangeroo for all the campfactor in that name.
Cheers to Anz for the link.
