  - Both sure...but more at the AIG people that felt they were entitled to bonuses after causing the company to need a bailout -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Mar 18, 11:13

- I think there's a Simpsons episode featuring Nelson Muntz in an asylum repeating this over and over -- nm - Roger More Mar 18, 10:57 3

- Well, he was intentionally driving like an ass but accidentally hit that dude, right? - TFox Mar 18, 10:49 9
  - [deleted]

    - I think it depends on the state, but usually there are lighter charges. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 10:51

    - Like crash says, if the alternative is Bratz, I'd get my little girl hooked on Barbie as soon as possible. - TFox Mar 18, 10:57 3
      - People used to complain about Barbie way more before Bratz came along. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 11:02 2
        
        Right, because who could have imagined a toy company would make a "comb the gum out of her hair and wash her sequined thong, twice to be safe" doll? -- nm - TFox Mar 18, 11:04 1

        true, they should just make Boutique Owner Barbie and skip the CEO ones -- nm - crash davis Mar 18, 11:05
  - well a fatal weakness of Barbie has been exposed in the last few years - crash davis Mar 18, 10:53 1
    - [deleted]
- its fine -- nm - crash davis Mar 18, 10:49
- I would think 4 is a little young for barbie, but then again, I would probably shy away from it entirely anyway, myself. - znufrii Mar 18, 10:48 1
