You know, Barbie generally gets sexier, but Ken just keeps getting dorkier. Also, check out the jams and beachy T-shirt, so hip back in about 1983.

That was the stupidest thing when Mattel decided Barbie and Ken should "split up" and instead Barbie should hang out with some guy named (if I remember correctly) Blake. Or was it Blaine? I'm sure it broke the hearts of 5 year olds everywhere. Funny, Ken actually looks a lot closer to his original self, from the 60s.
I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog,Facebook, and Twitter.

Why are they telling that news story as if Ken and Barbie are alive and on a reality show?
And what's "European" about Ken's new look?
Weird.
Included: one tiny fake bottle of suntan oil.

What's up with Barbie? She's getting lots of new PR lately--Project Runway on Bravo. Barbie on Reality TV, now that's pop culture!
