Mattel knows whats up. (in Canada)

I just kinda stumbled upon this the other day...

http://itsjustapie.blogspot.com/2009...al-region.html

Mattel recently announced the release of limited-edition Barbie Dolls for the Greater Ottawa market

blahblahblah bunch or different stereotypical barbies blahblahblah

Glebe Barbie

This doll is made of actual tofu. She has long straight brown hair, archless feet, hairy armpits, no makeup and Birkenstocks with white socks. She prefers that you call her Willow . She does not want or need a Ken doll, but if you purchase two Barbies and the optional Subaru wagon, you get a rainbow flag bumper sticker for free.


I guess this makes it official? A Subaru wagon really is a lesbian mobile.

They got the wagon wrong -- should be a Forester.

Happened all the time when I had a '98 Outback.

Actually I got a compliment from a few of girls when I was driving my '09 Impreza in Santa Cruz. They were pretty cute until I saw them all hop into a '97 Outback.

If they had gotten into any other Subaru, yeah it would have been. But they didn't

I'm pretty sure they were actually in Berkeley when they wrote this...... I see subarus here ALL THE TIME, but they have ABSOLUTELY NO LOVE for the STI or performance breed. They've all got hippy/gay/lesbian/political activism bumper stickers all over them.

I hate to say it, but they're almost as bad of drivers as the prius crowd (I think its the same crowd but they have less money so they drive 90's outbacks and legacy wagons)

QFT. I hate the stickered up wagons clogging the on ramps doing 25 mph. "I have better things to do tonight than die." (Springer TFTM)

But then again my neighbor has an outback wagon, and he wrenches the hell out of it. I've watched him change a timing belt, clutch, differential, and adjust the valves. Crazy.
