When my sisters and I were kids, we played with Barbies just like little girls everywhere. Occasionally, we’d actually play nice with our collection of plastic people, but mostly we didn’t. Typically, one of the doll heads would end up in the bedroom light. One of my sisters was the master of climbing on the bunk bed, stretching out and plucking the head back out of the light. Sometimes all the dolls would get their heads switched. It was a challenge to get Ken’s head to fit on Barbie’s body.
My Dynamic Duo would often run over other dolls with the Batmobile. And, who can forget the always dangerous elevator in the Barbie apartment? Sometimes, the elevator would eject right out of the top of the apartment building sending bodies out into the air. Other times, Barbie and her equally stupid friends would stand under the elevator car and become crushed.
I came across this on BoingBoing and laughed to myself. I’m afraid if we had had a copy of Sims we would have done something similar.
