SMOKIN' HOT BABE gets job as computer geek
Parents who want to inspire their daughters to aspire to something more than make-up, fashion and interior design can now opt for Computer Engineer Barbie, the latest edition to Mattel's plastic figurine. Barbie I Can Be... Computer Engineer Doll Who said that Barbies were all bimbos? This particular version is the result of …

Does this presage the launch of
Barbie BOFH* ?
*Bitch Operator From Hell
I guess that's one way to keep Barbie out of the work force!
Looking at the IT trends, Comp Sci grads have a difficult time finding jobs because a lot of the work gets sent off shore.
So its yet another way to enforce the old stereo type of 'barefoot and preggers' :-)
(I kid, I kid)
Oh well maybe Comp Sci is the 'Art History' degree of the 21st Century?
Sir
That's like, so cool.
Is it wrong for me to want one?
Wrong?
Only if she's much larger and looks, shall we say, surprised.
I actuallly have one ;-)

Grin!!
Odd how this online "popular vote" could be somehow come out in favour of computer engineer.
Really, odd.
BTW, why is computer engineer Barbie in the hardware section?
O, wait.
Now hold on, there
I have worked and studied with some very good looking women who knew there away around a computer. I don't recall seeing any of them in pink glasses, but this is Washington, DC.
Programmer you say?
She doesn't look particularly Indian!
Nope...
But I'll bet she outsources her own work assignments to India!
Ken?
Ken is unable to spice up anything.
As my girls said when they were very young 'How come Ken doesn't have a willy?'
(which, when you think about it , is two questions in one.)
That's why...
...Barbie comes with Xena.

"Ken is unable to spice up anything."
Then we need "Curry Chef Ken"
Complete with 8 inch penis just to be on the safe side.
Ouch!
<i>To keep things über-realistic and save some money in the process too, there's no need to buy her any friends either.</i>
bad implication
if we in IT didn't BUY our friends, how would we ever get any?
Hmm...
Maybe next they'll have a Barbie Sarah Palin...
Complete with "Tax cuts" written on hand!
Seems accurate enough to me.
She looks a lot like my daughter (if you add about sixteen years), right down to the pink laptop.
Realism
"Let's be honest, if this Barbie was realistic, she'd have a pizza box under her arm and a little more tummy under that 'Programmers do it bit by bit' T-shirt she'd be wearing."
She wouldn't have an iPhone either.
Spot on
Exactly - and don't stop there. Where's her set of mini screwdrivers?
Paris because - isn't it obvious?
Realism

And what's which those garish magenta shoes? They're as bad as the equally garish, equally &FF00FF glasses. The shirt's nice, though.
She looks like she ought to be in a modern reworking of Terrahawks...
Barbie@work. Brillant!
package test;
public class paula^H^H^H^H^HBarbieBean {
private String paula^H^H^H^H^Hbarbie = "Brillant";
public String getPaula^H^H^H^H^HBarbie() {
return paula^H^H^H^H^Hbarbie;
}
}
Stereotyping
First, it's wrong to assume every female Computer Engineer buys a pink laptop. And iPhones - Bluetooth accessories? Everyone buys those things. Not just Female Computer Engineers :P
This is the worst kind of model about females and computer engineers. Why can't they get _one_ thing right?
Divorcee Barbie
Mattel are also releasing Divorcee Barbie.
She doesn't come with any of her own accessories, but she does have Ken's house, Ken's car, half of Ken's pension etc etc....
This...
...explains why I keep getting spam about pink Dell laptops. No phone number though chiz.
Melissa the computer babe...
