I think that ad shows a lifestyle we are probably a little too familiar with. Normally we think of Barbie at the beach with Ken or driving with her girlfriends. Showing her surrounded by food while she's vegging with her laptop is a good reminder that we need to get out and be fit or find the same fate.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13389462788928841174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684152482482848543.post-35269619651881091982009-03-02T20:56:00.000-08:002009-03-02T20:56:00.000-08:00I agree with Ali, I think it is more important to ...I agree with Ali, I think it is more important to focus on what we should be doing to stay healthy instead of showing kids what not to become.

Plus, this seems to make fun of overweight people and not all overweight kids are lazy. Maybe they should put more of positive spin on exercise and eating healthy--this ad, although true, is a bit too negative for kids, imo.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13804986298540603425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684152482482848543.post-34240829627343500672009-02-25T07:09:00.000-08:002009-02-25T07:09:00.000-08:00Thats great!

Most women are overweight in our country, maybe if we had played with fat barbie dolls, there wouldn't be an obesity epedemic?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03872543304692729543noreply@blogger.com
