Barbie's big gay Malibu wedding?

Copyranter posted this pic with the observation that Barbie appears to be hooking up with Ellen Degeneres.

It's actually supposed to be Ken in this colouring book, and the scenario is actually a movie premiere. The illustrator just seems to have Bieberized Ken for the little girl market.

And it's not like homophobic parents should have any problems with a Sapphic Barbie. I've had a good 41 year run with heterosexuality, despite early exposure to Big Jim's very special friend, Jack.

I think it was the homemade pants.

Oh! Oh! I know. With porn?

And some trash talk.

Thanks for turning me on to this brand, Steve Hall. It's just awful.
