Barbie and Ken
http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/02/12/offbeat.barbie.breakup.ap/index.html
I saw this article on netscape yesterday while I was supposed to be researching the Eight Arrondissement. I find it really depressing that the perfect couple had to break up, and right before Valentines Day. What does it say about the world when plastic dolls are breaking up? And, what does it mean for the rest of us if Barbie and Ken can't even make it? Is it completely pointless to fall in love? What about marriage and children? Something like 50% of couples don't stay together. Everything is about the easy way out and instant gratification. In English Ms. P said something interesting, she said, the people you date now will be different than the people you marry; you will be looking for different things. Does that mean you'll settle?
