Question: Of these two '90s Barbie commercials for a Ken doll who had facial hair that you could shave off, which is the more disturbing?
This mid-'90s commercial for "Shaving Fun Ken" (with two girls swooning "Oh, Ken" in inappropriate excitement)?
Or this late-'90s commercial, which I've highlighted elsewhere, for the very different (and totally not just a lame name change to sell a product that already failed) "Cool Shaving Ken?"
Now you see why, in the '90s, parents were wrong to think that violent programming was the biggest threat to their kids.
What a HUNK!
ReplyDeleteBut they never did go for Sapphic Fun Barbie, alas...
