Anchor Barbie

The cliché has become a reality. After years of television executives trying to find the next best thing, the one and only Barbie is stepping behind the news desk.
Mattel's iconic distortion of female reality is getting 2 new jobs: Computer engineer and TV anchor. Providing further proof that this blonde can't hold a job, these are Barbie's 125th and 126th job titles.
Girls picked the TV job in a popular vote. No word on what genius put her in the skirt and shoes that any real reporter will tell you just won't work in the field.
