Comment of the week – fun with Illinois Barbies

A recent post on the Loyola University ESL program’s snub of Uptown led to a rousing debate on the relative safety of both Uptown and the neighborhoods surrounding Loyola. Out of left field, though, irishpirate sailed in with something he found on the Buena Park Neighbors message board: a list of Barbie dolls tailor-made for different cities in Illinois and neighborhoods in Chicago. For example:

Humboldt Park Barbie……
This bee-tch of a Barbie comes with a knife to stab other Barbies in the back, miniskirt and tons of makeup.

Lincoln Park Barbie……
This yuppie Barbie comes with knee-high black boots, a Louis Vuitton handbag, choice of a BMW sports car or new Convertible Beetle, Starbucks cup, credit card, a faux crocodile pill case filled with an assortment of the latest therapist-prescribed mood elevators, and shallow Ken. A list of all of the “in” fundraising events sold separately.

Agree? Disagree? Check out all the newest Barbie models and offer us some new ones!
