Weird Al Yankovic Fat: Anything You Should Know
Spending those lazy afternoons in the couch just watching television and simultaneously eating popcorn while drinking a soda? Wow, the life of the couch potato is going to be the end of you. Yes, doing that all the afternoons of your life will just get you out of shape! Do some exercises instead, bend and stretch those muscles before you turn or transform in to a blob monster we just get a look at when watching x-men on television. Ever heard of "Weird Al" Yankovic's song entitled couch potato? Well, you might just be the one he's talking about so just stand up and do some quality recreation and sports for Your Own good.
Skipper. Midge. Ken. Barbie. Everyone knows these names, but do you know the name Ruth Handler? Ruth was the wife of Elliot Handler, a co-founder of Mattel toy company. In 1954, Ruth noticed that her daughter, Barbara, often gave her Paper Dolls adult roles when she played with them. At the time, the doll market was flooded with only Baby Dolls, such as Chatty Cathy, so Ruth approached her husband and suggested that Mattel release a doll that older girls would enjoy playing with. He rejected the idea, and Mattel's directors were unenthusiastic as well, to say the least. Fast forward to 1956. This doll was exactly what Ruth had in mind when she had first approached Mattel, so she purchased one for her daughter and two to take to Mattel. Once she returned to the United States, Ruth redesigned the doll and gave her a new name, Barbie, after her daughter. The first Barbie Doll was debuted at the American International Toy Fair on March 9, 1959. As they say, the rest was history. When Ruth, a mere housewife and stay at home mom, approached Mattel, I'm sure she had no idea that her idea would spawn a billion dollar franchise, a household name, or a cultural icon. But that's exactly what happened.
Exercise can be the most rewarding recreational activity there is, health is more important than wealth, yes, that is very true. Having a scheduled routine of exercising at least 4 hours a week can Make Your body turn from malnourished to alive and pumping in the next few weeks. Exercising improves circulation of the blood in your body; taking out all probable risks of high blood pressure and could even prevent baldness as they say. Not only will exercise make you healthy, it will also give you the body build-up you would always want to have. But of course you know this; those push-ups, curl-ups, jogging, and even jumping jacks can put your body in figure. If you want to be healthy, physically fit, physically competitive, and proud of your self, then invest your free afternoons on exercise and all this will just come running after you.
All In The Family...
But that wasn't enough; Mattel was hungry for more, and apparently so was Barbie. Ken, named after Ruth's son, was released in 1961 as an appropriate counterpart for Barbie. Attractive and charming, Ken was Barbie's knight in shining armor. Mattel introduced a Hispanic doll, Theresa, Barbie's official "Best Friend." Mattel kept up the political correct-ness and introduced an African-American Doll as well, Christie. Younger, pre-teen dolls, such as Midge and Skipper were introduced to counteract Barbie's controversial sex appeal.
Another way to get in shape is to have an active sport in your daily or even just weekly schedules. It wouldn't hurt to have a game of basketball or badminton in the weekends, would it? All you have to do is have fun with your friends while playing the sport and You Are already giving your self the recreation it needs. Not unless you are gifted then maybe you are an exception; but the point is, it is absolutely okay to be a noob at the start, all of the players will understand you, trust me. So try out your new sport right now, and find out all the fun you have been missing all this time just being a couch potato.
Barbie hasn't always been faithful to Ken though. They split in 2004, and a press release was announced stating, "(Barbie and Ken) feel it's time to spend some quality time - apart...Like other celebrity couples, their Hollywood romance has come to an end." Barbie became friendly with Blaine, an Australian surfer boy who swooped in from out of nowhere and stole her away. Barbie left Blaine in 2006 to return to a newly made over Ken. Because, you know, it's what's on the outside that counts...
All That Glitters Isn't Gold
And Mattel's own girl next door was at the center of it all.
Unrealistic Body Image
Parents didn't like their little girls owning a doll with so much sex appeal. According to Mattel's size scale, if Barbie were a real person, she would be/have:
- 5'9" tall
- 36" chest
- 18" waist
- 33" hips
- 110 pounds
- BMI of 16.24
