While you’re over at the BBC, check out this seven-year-old neuroscientist who is “wowing the internet” or some bullshit.

Cute kid. If she understands a single word of the incoherent science factlets she’s regurgitating, I’ll eat my niqab.

This popular song needs an update!

“L’il Perfesser” has an earwig in her left ear… it popped out while she was moving her head around and she had to pop it back into “receiving position.” LOL

Well, considering that Ken’s nethers are as featureless as Barbie’s, my bet would be they’ll pull a Jenner.

Hey! How about side bets in the Deadpool on tranny Ken’s new name?

The 2 things that made Barbie popular were the clothes and her hair. So, how popular is it going to be in an ugly burkha?

I don’t think this is how ‘assimilation’ is supposed to work. We are not supposed to become them. They are supposed to become like us.

This is an invasion, and Western Civ is being conquered and converted.

I don’t think this is going to play out quite like liberal moms anticipate:

Liberal Mother: I bought you a new Barbie.

Young Girl: Cool. I like her hoodie.

LM: That’s not a hoodie; that’s a Habib. She wears it for her religion. Don’t take it off.

YG: Why not?

LM: Because wearing it shows her respect for God, er, Allah.

YG: Do we have a religion? Do we have to show respect for god?

LM: No, we’re atheists we don’t believe there is a god. God doesn’t exist. Anyhow this is about Allah, remember? That’s her god.

YG: Does Allah exist?

Can you get the hijab in black? And maybe instead of an epee, a scimitar?

Ken, comes dressed as Larry of Arabia ( who was a cultural appropriator).
And his new name will be Mohammed Ken Al Bhagdadi.
Optional items for Mo will be vests, bulletproof or suicide, the later with simulated LED exploding lights and spring loaded bits that fly off ( not recommended for children under the age of 8).
Vehicle choices will be the armored truckbomb or the extra special decal selectable 20 ton rental van for “crashing” those special celebrations held by ferenji.
Mo comes with the obligatory AK47, RPG grenade and launcher and ISIS flag.

Oh, and she didn’t personally win the bronze, it was a team win thingies, but what matters is a Barbie in head scarf even if even THAT won’t be acceptable in some parts of dar a Islam.

South Park did “America! f@@@ yeah!”

Mattel is doing “America f@@@ you!”

“This is the land of the free! Cover your head woman or you will be made to suffer!”

And his new name will be Mohammed Ken Al Bhagdadi.

Mohammed Ken Abu Matteli.

Had to check…There isn’t an Mattel OEM nun Barbie, but there are aftermarket nun Barbie / Sister Barbie and Father Ken dolls.

Now the question is, to cover many of our midwest and southern Protestants, is there a “covered dish” Barbie?

OT: A story of mine from a few years ago has found a home: http://beneaththerainbow.com/mr-carlinos-redemption/ It’s a sequel to the “likeable hit man” story “Mr. Carlino’s Project” (also on that site), which was inspired originally by the thought, “What if George Bailey had been a hit man . . .?” (No. Seriously.)

Standing on the shoulders of giants, or perhaps more accurately getting props for a wave that washed past more than 20 years ago.

I’m glad the sport is getting some attention, but I’m saddened that the attention is coming in this way. This woman is no hero, no role model, no ground breaker.

I was a fencer in college back in the early 90s. Our co-ed group was part of the effort to allow women to compete in the weapons of epee and saber. It simply was not done at the time. But we helped make it happen. This woman is pretty good at her sport, having been in training since early childhood like every other Olympian, but she is nowhere near as good as the others on her USA team, and the Europeans utterly dominate the sport and have for generations.

Sport fencing gets almost no media attention, perhaps because 1) it’s seen a rich white boy college sport, like yacht racing, and 2) It doesn’t work on TV. The blades are thin, and move much faster than the camera can pick up, not to mention the arcane rules that are hard for non-fencers to grok.

This does not mean that other people are unwelcome. FAR FROM IT. Any fencing club, team, or group is super happy to have anyone join, and will embrace them if they are dedicated to the sport. It has nothing to do with race, gender, religion, lifestyle, finances, or physical appearance, although being tall and thin often helps. Put on the mask and the only thing that matters is what you can do with that bit of metal in your hand.

While hijab Barbie “is strong enough to wield a giant sabre and dedicated enough to spend years working her way to an Olympic medal.”, this doesn’t say much, as a competition sabre weighs less than 400 grams, about 13 ounces.

The one and only reason this doll exists, or that this person got media attention is that she is a non-white female who broke the rules by using “islamaphobia” leverage and got away with it. Rules which are disintegrating yearly in an attempt to attract new people and shed a 150 year old image of total snootishness and elitist inflexibility. My goodness, these days you don’t even need to know French to partake in the sport.

OT, but I keep getting accused of having some kind of regional linguistic disability when I say, “go with” and then end a sentence. Apparently the region where that sounds totally normal is bigger than just Illinois, though, so there’s that.
