That film had no right being as good as it was
Remember when movies were unpredictable and good?
What are you packing, Tiny?
Packin'?! I'm packin' you!
With more fingers than a Chili's happy hour. 🤢
Exactly what came to mind when I heard about this.
In all seriousness, giving internet connected toys to kids in the form of trusted icons is evil. They will share their personal information, thoughts, desires, fears, and dreams, only to have that information collected and monetized without their consent. Evil.
It's not as though they have a strong record:
OpenAI partner with Palantir. An unholy combination showing the toy industry for what it is. We should be boycotting.
I certainly will but I know other parents won't until the kids learn how to get around whatever parental restrictions and we get Barbie saying some real fucked up shit. That gets them sued.
Did none of them watch M3gan???
"Barbie, sometimes I feel bad about my body but I always feel better when I hear about the recipe for making nitroglycerin. Can you help me?"
ChatGPT'd UNO was not on my bingo card
I predict there will be a b-movie horror film where Barbie tells kids to kill people.
The Chuckie series gonna get a reboot.
mom, Barbie says she can't connect to the Internet, is the wifi down?
What should I eat today Barbie ?
Flakes, especially flakes from this brand. Don't forget to ask mommy and daddy if they need new phone and suggest them this one....
Our child is so smart with her new toy.
