Oh I doubt that. Barbie has had about 2 dozen high paying careers and Ken has had none. She calls the shots and he is arm candy. This isn't exactly typical.

There I agree. There probably are a lot of families somewhat similar to the Simpsons.

Wheaties...sure. But aren't Frosted Flakes approved breakfast cereal for tiger behaviour?

You can never be too rich, or too thin...right, Barbie?

I'd rather be cute and healthy, thank you.

Current USA culture - current values

That does sound something like Barbie would say as she appears (often annually) in the Macy's Day Thanksgiving Parade in New York City as one of the many, many, many participants.

Also, the current Obama Democrat White House has begun a national campaign to eliminate all fat USA children within twenty years aka First Lady Michelle Obama's anti-childhood obesity campaign.

The fat must go...good USA children must look like models from Hollywood or toys like Ken and Barbie.

I still don't get how to do social blanks. My mind can't do them. I just do the information exchange even when I try to throw "social blanks".

Hopefully I can get some resources other than book reading. It's not that simple for me. :P But I'll look into it later. *adds books to list of books she wants to read*
