Seriously??? Barbie toy reviews are what Engadget is now reduced to? SERIOUSLY????
TJ @ Oct 9th 2007 3:56PM
I know for real. What do you expect the toy to do - "We are sorry, you have played with this card x times. Please purchase new Barbie Fashion Fever to continue playing."
FrankliD @ Oct 9th 2007 3:57PM
It's not a toy review. Obviously you don't read and have no sense of comprehension. Engadget's saying that the toy is sending the wrong message to the young girls (and questionable young boys) out in the world by telling them that, despite how much they shop to buy clothes, they'll "never run out of money" because of the credit card. Would you want this message sent to your kids? I sure as hell wouldn't.

Yeah, but at least it's not yet another post about the latest iPhone/iPod Touch hack, or someone else whining about iBricks.

Technology effects everyone, even young children (which, obviously, involves toys). Engadget doesn't have to cover ONLY silver-on-black painted PDAs, computers, cameras, etc. They can cover any other piece of technology they want, and not just big-people toys.
This device exposes children to the technology of credit cards in a false manner, which can, in effect, lead to the misuse of the technology by these kids in the future.
My advice to you: if you don't like these types of stories about technology being incorporated into children's toys creeping onto the Engadget website every once in a while, then just skip over them or stop coming. You won't be missed.

why do the boys have to be questionable! wuz your prrrroblem?

@Bob
Why would a boy playing with Barbie be referred to as 'questionable'?
If a girl liked playing with toy trucks and GI Joe would you also refer to her as 'questionable'?
