The text messaging Barbie
We already knew that Barbie had a blog (with an emphasis on the "had", as it seems to have disappeared), but apparently times have gotten so tough for Mattel that the next gimmick will be a Barbie that comes with a mini-cellphone that kids can use to send text messages. Though, we're glad to see Barbie finally getting with the program (next step: a WiFi Barbie) it doesn't say whether she'll come with a real phone that can send real text messages or a play phone that can send, um, play text messages. We're leaning towards the latter.
