Damnit. It looks like this is a dark day for HJ. We may have to change our name to Hipster_____. Maybe HipsterZoroasters. Or HipsterQuakers. Because ‘Jew’ is too mainstream now. Everyone in America knows what it is. Most Americans assume that we control the banks, the newspapers, and the NAACP. And now that they made a Jewish barbie, I may have to throw in the towel.
I’m almost unsure of where to begin.
1) Since Barbie is the epitome of American culture, have we the Jews finally ‘made it big’?
2) Do they realize that most Jews don’t like it when women wear tefilin? Does this give the Barbie extra points for being a religious rebel Jew? (Yes.)
3) Couldn’t they atleast make the Barbie a little more accurate? Give her some big boobs and some curly brown/black hair. Come on now, if Matel is gonna make a Jewish barbie, don’t half ass it.
4) Would you buy this for your Jewish boy/girl? Would this barbie automatically turn them into a JAP? Would the Rabbis be angry if you beat your child with this toy? What about if you just beat them in general?
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

Love the posts…I do have to say that Barbie was created by Ruth Handler, whose husband and brother-in law are Matthew & Eliot Handler, as in Mattel..They are Jews so really Barbie has always been Jewish- extremely Jewish for that matter..She’s just more of a goyishe looking Jewess like Ruth Madoff…!
