d2r: is that...?

is that...?

As I walked through Dublin today I noticed ads everywhere for the upcoming release of Legally Blonde 2. No, I don't give a damn about the movie, but something seemed strange about the ad. Finally I realized what it was: in it, Resse Witherspoon appears to be an exact replica of Barbie. Am I wrong?

My twisted mind then ignored all the warning signals going off regarding corporate manipulation, media, women's issues, etc, and simply decided that it would be cool if Mattel sued the MPAA or whoever for this "infrigement", just for the fun of it. At this point all of these big companies must have a staff of lawyers on call. You never know when you need to sue someone.

Actually, I think Mattel issued a (whatever the movie character name is)-edition Barbie along with the movie. What's imitating what? :-)

Yikes. I should have known that such an "opportunity" wouldn't be ignored by the gods of tie-in marketing... :)

Watch the trailer that you linked:

"Oh look it's Capitol Hill Barbie!!"

spoken at Reese's character.
