New Spy Camera Barbie Can Bust Your Little Sister For You
Barbie really can do anything. The fantastic, plastic doll now has an incarnation as a secret-camera toting spy.
Video Girl Barbie comes with a hidden camera in a necklace. The tiny camera can shoot up to 30 minutes of video. While Mattel is pushing the toy for “budding filmmakers”, it’s uses for budding spies, private eyes, blackmail artists and lawyers should be obvious.
No more “she said, she said” when you go running to tattle on little on your baby sis! Now when mom says, “What really happened?” in that stern voice, you can present evidence. Barbie sees all, and can replay it on her own LCD screen or download her film clips to a computer.
Normally, I’m not Barbie’s biggest fan. But in this case I’ll have to make an exception. A saccharine fashion doll with a hidden camera is just too cool. I’d consider buying one, but I bet my kids would want to play with it all the time and I’d never get my turn.
Would you buy this toy for your own kids? Or does it seem poised to cause more trouble than fun?
