the 'outrage' that is always low prices

I know it's because they don't sell as many black Barbies, but it still looks pretty bad when they are side by side like that.

It may be that 'just basic economics' is racist of course. We already know at least one other -ist it is.

If anything, wouldn't this be racist towards white people? Why are they charging white people twice as much for the doll they want? Just because they are white?

I had an ex who worked in a big toy store ans she told me that the company behind the store (some italian version of "Toys 'r' Us") had retired black, asian, generally non white barbies from all their stores because "They didnt sell and kept piling up in stores".

She told me that, according to her experience, little white spoiled brats never wanted those dolls, because "the black barbies are ugly".

It's always the kids' fault.

Because they make more money...because they have jobs.

You give Spooky way too much credit. He's a passive-aggressive prick. End.

According to the past guests list Patrice's next show will be her 200th. She's just waiting it out, letting the anticipation build.

The lists are incorrect. I found out a lot of eps where Patrice was on and she wasnt mentioned. Same with Spooky.

Another thing: sport includes physical activity, teams and rules. Anything else is a game, discipline or homosexual activity.

Basketball: Sport
Poker: Game
Chess: Homosexual
