Sarah Haskins in Target Women: Barbie

re-size
She's busty, famous and fifty. No wonder we want to grow up to be just like her.

The show puts a comedic spin on the 24-hour chaos and information overload brought about by the constant bombardment of the media. Hosted by Conor Knighton and co-starring Brett Erlich, Sarah Haskins, Ben Hoffman, and Sergio Cilli, the show airs on Thursdays at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific Times and can be found online at current.com/infomania.

    Never was a barbie fan myself, but my step-sisters LOVED her so I grew up with barbie crap all over my bedroom, blech!

    I remember soooo many of these Barbies! Didn't have many of them, what a waste of money that would have been.

    I admit I love Barbies, probably more than I did when I was a kid...I wish I had more. I have a couple of the Pregnant Barbies and now I want to go back and buy some of the awesome 90s era ones (I totally remember wanting Gymnast Barbie for her flexi limbs). Also whenever I see a hilariously ironic Barbie I have to buy it.

    Oh and that Cut and Style Barbie was dangerous...I remember many a girl giving themselves bad haircuts because they didnt realize that their hair couldnt reattach.

    I loved it! I could watch it over and over! I still have Barbies that are in boxes. My husband (Ken) says they're collectors items and won't let me touch them. This may sound strange but I have always identified with Barbie. Thanks Sarah....that was great fun!

    i used to play with barbie, and while i do see that she only reflects only one standard of beauty, i don't think she is the destruction of American women either.

    maybe she's actually a tolerance doll to show us that there are anorexics in every career field? ;)

    I have never told anybody this, but my little sister had a barbie collection -- and as I began to approach puberty, seeing her disrobed gave me certain...feelings...

    (I love you, Barbie...)

    In high school I read some book about the history of Barbie, and I *believe* she was based on a German porn doll marketed toward men that an elderly American tourist lady really liked. So she's always been a "let's check under her skirt!" doll, is what I'm saying.

    Omg, this made my life so much brighter today (especially needed while studying for finals). Sadly, I totally own most of those barbies too! (Except for Troll Barbie, can't say I ever saw that commercial.)

    Thank you for this amazingness! =D

    I always love the "Target Women" segment, but this was terrific. The Barbie comercials were hilarious; they brought back so many memories. Everytime one would come up I would think "Oh, I had that one."

    Just got my "Then and Now" Barbie today. One more to add to the collection. Life is good!

    You've done it again Ms. Haskins, I'm amazed! I had no idea there were so many different Barbies! Guess I should have spent more time out in the world instead of isolated with brown hair Ken in my pink Barbie townhouse with manual elevator.

    "If Barbie were a real person, she would be 6' 0", weigh 100 lbs., and wear a size 4. Her measurements would be 39"/19"/33"...

    The average woman is 5' 4", weighs 145 lbs., and wears between a size 11-14. Her measurements are approximately 36"/30"/41". There is a fifty-fifty chance that she is on a diet right now."
