Barbie.... What a Gold Digger.

Go there. Read this. Be amazed and astonished.

Really? $500 000? REALLY?

Barbie will soon be getting a custom made diamond necklace.

Why does this bother me?
Well, because a plastic doll wearing only a three carats of diamonds around her neck, a strapless black dress and stilettos, and a different hair do then usual is set to be sold at $300 000-$500 000.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD?
I'll be honest, when I was younger, I loved Barbie's. I had quite a few. But they did not cost anywhere near that much.
And WHY is this Barbie worth so much?
Three carats of diamonds should only cost up to $12 000 at the very most. Is it really worth it to pay HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars, for a DOLL?
Sure the proceeds do go to Breast Cancer Research Foundation, but still.
Also, I find it kind of weird that they chose this doll to represent their cause, as in real life, she would be so disproportionate, she wouldn't even be able to stand up due to the size of her chest.
It just seriously bothers me that people feel like they have the money to spend that amount on a doll while there are people literally starving all around the world. Rather then spend all that money on a doll with proceeds going to breast cancer research, which I'll admit is a worthwhile cause, try to end world hunger.
Or just give it to me. Whatever works.
