What Bad Little Girls are Getting for Christmas
I don’t even know where to begin with this one.
When we were shopping today I saw this doll in the Pink Row at Walmart. {That would be what The Girl calls the Barbie aisle.}
Seriously. What the heck?
One thing you may or may not know about me is my issue with birds. I’m not afraid of them per se. I’m just not a fan of all the poop. You see, I was on a field trip once with a bunch of 2nd graders and a flock of birds flew over and pooped on my shirt. You’ve never been mocked until a bird poops on you in the presence of that many creepy little boys.
That experience left a deep emotional scar that has yet to heal.
So this Barbie brings back that terrible memory and also brings to forefront the fact that – in order for this Barbie to be authentic – she would have to also be covered in bird poopie.
I’m all over details, people.
What completely cracked me up besides the subtle look of distress on her face is the description given on the website:
“Celebrating Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film, this incredible collector’s doll features our heroine being attacked by a trio of fine feathered foes, just like in the movie. Will these plastic birds damage her delightful handbag or her carefully styled hair? We certainly hope not! Be sure to let Barbie into your home and pray that the birds don’t come in with her!”
I know when my eyes are being pecked out and I’m being pooped on by demon birds my first concern is my delightful handbag and carefully styled hair.
Though if I survived the ordeal, I would be secondarily upset about either of those things being damaged.
And speaking of poop, I’m curious if the same Barbie designer also created Barbie and Tanner the Dog? Do y’all realize the doggy snacks are also doggie poo and that Barbie scoops them it up only to return it to Tanner’s bowl for him to eat again?
Yeah.
I know y’all appreciate my sharing that with you right as you are finishing up those Lists O’ Christmas Cheer.
You are so incredibly welcome.
It is so late and I’m delirious. If this post disappears you’ll know it’s because I woke up tomorrow with more sense than I have at the moment.
Or if I disappear, it was The Birds.
That, is very creepy. Not on my Christmas list!
this is most disturbing
Just tellin’ it like it is. My kind of girlfriend!
Blessings to you,
Michelle
What the? Seriously? What are you supposed to say to that sweet little girl upon opening this gift?
“Because I love you, honey, I wanted to make sure you have nightmares until you’re 30 and an enduring fear of all things feathered…yes, sweetheart, you’re welcome!”
I’m completely dumbfounded!
There’s seriously a doll like that? Oh my! I asked my boys if they’d like that doll (obviously I had to ask them to pretend they were a girl first LOL). And that Dog and Barbie one…is that poop and pee? Seriously??
Ok. The movie “The Birds” is a favorite of my sister and I can tolerate it, but a Barbie with birds hanging off her is just over the top!!LOL
Thanks for the laugh this morning.
That is just demented! What were they thinking??
O'my! That cannot possibly be for real! Yikes! The thought cracks me up, but so very creepy!
We have these nasty black birds that hang out usually at the HEB parking lots, but most major intersections will do & in the evening you feel like you could be in the movie itself walking to your car. Eww! (Maybe you saw them @ LPL w/ the Siestas).
That is totally for the birds.
Like, seriously.
OK – I AM afraid of birds, and this movie is the reason why. And now, on top of being worried about my eyeballs, I can worry about poop on my shirt, losing my purse AND having messy hair!
Thanks Barbie!
Fun post though!
That is really to much to handle.. and did you read my blog post a week ago about the bird that got into my home? I think I mentioned it in a God Stop post. The God Stop was they finally got it out of my house. I hate bird poop. lol
Hugs,
Patty
Loved the movie, love the doll! Its at least better than redneck barbie!
Are you kidding me? Sounds like “barbie” is running out of good ideas. YIKES!! (but yet funny)
Did you ever see said creepy movie? I HATE those demented types of movies…and I am not sure why my parents let me watch them as a kid….Oh, yeah, I do remember the bird at the zoo, and it was a priceless moment! Love ya :)
Arrrrhhhhh that is horrible!
That movie…..ick! Wow….what is this world coming to?
Just crazy, I tell ya!
I simply MUST have this Barbie… I love the cool vintage outfit!
Great blog! I’ve added you to my list!
*Hugs*

It would make a great White Elephant gift.
They’ll do most anything to sell a toy. Although the target market of this is puzzling. Women who love Alfred Hitchcock thrillers? I’m one of those people, but this strikes me as demented…
Are you serious? How stupid? I remember that movie being on TV when I was little and my siblings making fun of me because I got scared and had to leave the room. (Yes I am the youngest.) I will NOT laugh at all if they decide to give that to me for Christmas. I wouldn’t put it past them, they are that sick.
Lisa, can you email me about CWO? I have sent email, and perhaps you aren’t gettting it? Not sure… I wondered if you are still writing with us. Maybe I’ve missed a letter from you.
Wow. I thought it was a joke at first! Maybe people who hate blondes will like this. Hitchcock always cast those icy blondes who got their come-uppance. Or whatever the word is.
That is freakin’ hilarious!!!! Nothin’ like a Barbie with a pained look on her face…hahahahaha
I also remember the zoo poo on your shoulder hahahahahhahaa
I’m actually pretty suprised it hasn’t happened to me yet as many power lines/trees I walk under! HA~
Shouldn’t see have a much more frightened look on her face? She looks almost too calm to me.
Oh my gosh!! That is so crazy! What will they come up with next?
I totally remember this movie! It was so scary!!!!!!
Ok, this is too funny! And doesn’t the doll look beautiful? You would think her hair would be messed up while running from hungry crows! Mercy.
I put a little momento in your po box yesterday from that awesome field trip!!!! HA~
WHO would want this??!
HA! This is horrible and hilarious all at the same time! My Dad is so afraid of those things because of this very movie! I should buy him the Barbie! LOL!
The first modestly dressed Barbie I’ve seen in ages, and she has to be creepy??? What kind of a world are we living in here folks? The toy isles are for the birds anyway in my opinion – it’s either demented, scary, immodest, creepy, or just pure evil – so few decent toys to choose from!
That is soooo wrong.
That’s creepy– I am terrifed of birds.
