Star Trek Barbie

By Ann Bartow

Via. In response some dood named Harry Knowles writes:

Star Trek Barbies? That’s how to make future babes geeks!!!

Hey folks, Harry here… with a brilliant concept. TREK BARBIES!!! Yes, every little girl in the world needs Star Trek Barbies, so that in like 15 years all future geeks will have excellent geek brides. Either that… or geek boys will be seen playing with these and get pummeled mercilessly until they are very nearly dead. …

Harry’s theory as I understand it seems to be that playing with these Sta Trek Barbies will convert girls into geeks who want to marry geek men, but boys who do so will be gay bashed.
