Wow, look at the time! It’s 1984 already!
Introducing, Barb-GPT! You talk to Barbie and she talks back! If you tell Barbie your secrets, she can give you fun tips in return.
Tell Barbie that Mommy and Daddy have discussed not being able to afford another kid, and Barbie will have the government anti-abortion squad at your door tomorrow. Whisper to Barbie that Grandma’s legal status is not entirely clear and Barbie will have ICE take care of all Grandma’s problems. Share to Barbie that your big sister in college has expressed political views that don’t align with Dear Leader, and Barbie will ensure that you’ll never have to share a room with that mean sister ever again!
Barbie, with the power of Barb-GPT! Coming for all your children today, for a better future tomorrow! Brought to you by the partnership of Mattel and Big Brother!

Brace yourselves for being told on MSN and Yahoo about the hottest new toy this Xmas! If you don't buy it, you might be arrested for child abuse!
