It's The Shit

Wonders never cease. That crazy company Mattel is at it again. Wally went to the Barbie website this morning to find a decent pic of this, but only found a small one which I mistook for blind barbie with her seeing eye dog. As you can see, she's armed with a magnetic pooper-scooper and dustbin to clean up the mess.

The latest Barbie accessory, Tanner the labrador, makes faux "poop" when fed brown plastic “biscuits”. Apparently Mattel couldn't devise a way to have the "treats" go in looking one way and coming out looking another way. Which means Tanner is clearly eating his own excrement. Plastic or not, that's kind of gross, but not so far from the truth.

Mattel has also produced a promotional video of Barbie and Tanner playing in the park where you can see him do his thang. I can only imagine the board meeting that greenlit this project into reality.

Fascinating!
