Barbie B2 touchscreen MP3 player in pink and bearskin

If you've ever wondered how Barbie will prey upon the insecurities of the future generation of robot-assimilated little girls -- this is it. Somewhere in that Planet of the Apes, dystopian fembot horde sits the touchscreen Barbie B2 MP3 player. Unfortunately, without any clues for scale, the device is either the size of a fingernail, or giant Barbies with even more preposterous breast-to-hips ratios are invading Korea as we speak. We'll guess something closer to the former (while secretly hoping for the latter).

Update: We found the site pushing the B2. Of course, the makeup case design comes with a mirror to remind your little princess that she'll never quite meet the corporate beauty standard. Picture after the break.

[Thanks, MadHat]

[Andrew @ Dec 6th 2007 2:43AM]

Your pubic hair looks like that?

[Patrick @ Dec 6th 2007 3:18AM]

Sure!

You'll see, the day you grow pubic hair of your own :p

Sweet lord is that scary.

[Farris @ Dec 6th 2007 2:31AM]

Not only that, but why did Barbie get chest hair before Ken?

The two with hats remind of Russians.

[LordFarkward @ Dec 6th 2007 3:25AM]

what made you think that they're hats?

if they have such crazy ass chest hair, expect them to have crazy ass hair with crazy ass hairdo's.

Necessity is the mother of invention. If this is invention, I am wondering what is "necessity"? Though one ...

What the hell is up with this scary shit!? How do you market this as an MP3 player for 5 year olds?!

Hahahaha! Those silver, hairy, Barbies are soooo insane. I would probably think about getting the MP3 player... just because I'm a Barbie addict.... but in no way will I look forward to buying those dolls, they're so shiny & hairy! Did I mention shiny & hairy? NIGHTMARES!!! =|
