Saturday morning ick factor

It's Saturday morning so, naturally, the children are watching cartoons.

A commercial came on for a new Barbie doll and for reasons still unknown to me, I watched it.

This morning they were selling the Barbie Forever Barbie Doll with Tanner the Dog. Barbie is bad enough* but Tanner the dog is nasty!

You feed the dog "biscuits" which the dog promptly poops out. Barbie very responsibly picks up the poo with her magnetic pooper scooper and tosses it into the waste bin. When it's time to feed Tanner you dump the waste bin and feed her the poo because the food and poo are all the same.

Don't believe me? The sentence below is taken directly from Amazon's item description:
At this point, Barbie can pick it up with her scooper, and then Tanner will eat it again-- just like your real dog!

"Just like your real dog"? Perhaps we're strange but we do not feed our dog her own bodily waste!!!

Ew! Ew! Ew!
