American Girl™ is Scary
Aileen just introduced me to one of the eeriest things I've ever seen: In the united states, parents can take their kids to a special mall that's explicitly designed for their dolls.
Read that sentence over again and let it sink in: america is so rich that it spends its wealth on catering to the desires of plastic playthings.
At American Girl Place you can:
- Give your doll a $20 haircut
- Have Brunch with your doll
- See a show with your doll
- Get your face on the cover of a magazine with your doll
Did I mention that you can go on a full-blown shopping trip with fake-money to outfit your plastic companion for the low-low price of only $280USD? Has the world gone mad?
In a day and age when finding fresh water is a toss up in most of the developing world, the united states scares the hell out of me.

When I was little I went to the mall with my doll and no one ever charged me $260 for it.

It is crazy, some people jump from bridges, and airplanes to float without opening parachute for a while. Some people dream to sit on quantilion tons of TNT just to get 50 Km above the earth.
You can say this is lame though, that much for piece of rubber. But then you can see how my people pay for adult novelty items, then this is not so bad.
