I thought the most interesting part about this was the binary code on the computer she's holding spells out "BarBie" repeatedly.


perl -e 'print map(pack("B*", $_), qw(01000010 01100001 01110010 01100010 01101001 01100101)), "\n"'


Not that I could come up with anything better, but is anyone else a little disappointed in what they've come up with? We need better accessorization to appeal to little girls, I guess.

Couldn't they have at least put some code on her laptop instead of 0's and 1's?


Agreed! Maybe we could lobby them to replace it with a DeCSS snippet.Or just be subversive and have some stickers printed up and leave them on shelves next to the Barbies.


At least, but the code in a terminal window, with a another window showing a bit torrent client or something.
