Is it Girl Scout Cookie time yet? I could really use some peanut butter cookies, even though I tend to just eat the peanut butter out of the middle.

Can't count the number of times I've quietly cursed that organization over a serious Samoa craving.

Originally posted by rbmorrisIt's sickening. No option to choose debit over credit, just a credit card swiper that spits out the total charge...nothing less than $100.00 in the commercial.
Oh God. I haven't seen it and I'm already horrified.
Do they have a 'Lil Bankruptcy Kit too?
Even sorrier than the toy itself, is that it will sell this holiday season.
All on credit, I'm sure.

Oh dear. It seems Barbie has come up with yet another way to mess up little girls.
Fashion Fever Shopping Boutique, the correctly named Barbie toy, features a built-in credit card swiper and a life-size credit card for young children to use when buying outfits for their dolls. According to the Amazon website, "Once the balance hits zero, it will reset so you can continue to shop."
You know, just like in real life! The commercial, which you can watch a low-quality version of here, features a little girl saying "And you never run out of money!" Sigh."
