OMGWTFBBQ DOUBLE POST H4X
I doubt anyone who has an iPod is still stuck on Barbie. Either that or they are a spoiled rich 6 year old.
You'd be surprised
Ah, I hope the buttons are small and easy to remove and swallow, in the good ol' tradition of Barbie.
Is there going to be a version of this for the "Ken dock"?
LOLZ I SEE WHUT YOU DID THERE
Now where's that Batman one I've been waiting for?
This is a stupid product because it continues the socialization of girls through color.
Girls didn't ask for a pink Bose Sounddock when they purchased them with ipods years ago.
Girls don't go for pink Ipod covers.
Girls are just as likely to buy a white/black or blue device as boys are so STOP the sexist design strategies.
This is no better than making every female video game character, pink/purple and always with huge breasts.
actually... i used to work at 2 different large unnamed electronic retailers... the girls walk in and say "oh look at that pink one", regardless of what it is, how much it sucks, or how overpriced it is. Many girls, are not as likely to buy a black whatever if there is a pink option. Quit with the overly politically correct act, its old and tired.
There's nothing better than huge breasts.
Have any of you noticed that that is a paper ipod.
They're really *that* thin!
Doe's it defeat the old Barbie products like The doll house or the barbie car?

Dinosaurs died for THIS???
where's my hammer
Another reason to get a Zune lol
KC - Wait a minute, wait a minute!...I thought Barbie WAS the Ken dock
LMAO
you've got a dirty mind
I would so buy a Batman ipod dock...and I'm a woman.
Sweet Jesus, My eyes! My eyesssss! THE PAAAIIIIN!
Whether you like it or not, Barbie was a cultural revolution. And pink is the signature color. It would be ridiculous to make a Barbie item without using the color pink...as ridiculous as making a Kermit dock with no green. And plenty of people who are not 6 years old or spoiled rich bitches like Barbie. There are plenty of people, myself included, who like Barbie because of the history behind it and because she is a fierce character. Barbie has encompassed nearly every occupation and dont it alone, without a man at her side. Ken was not released until 1961, 3 years after Barbie. The only Barbie doll to ever be married is Midgie, I think.
So before you say that Barbie is no better than video game vixens (who, I mean come on, despite the wardrobe kick serious ass), maybe you should learn a little more about the 50 year history of the doll that you so obviously do not understand. In fact, in the spirit of feminism and being PC, I would venture to say that Barbie is the ultimate symbol of feminist pride. The only demeaning thing that is associated with Barbie is the attitudes of the uninformed.
