After 43 years as one of the world's prettiest pairs, the perfect plastic couple is breaking up. The couple's "business manager," Russell Arons, vice president of marketing at Mattel, said that Barbie and Ken "feel it's time to spend some quality time -- apart."

Damn, I thought their love would last forever. Now it's gonna be hard to explain to my daughter how Ken won't be staying at the Malibu dream house anymore. And how Ken will be hanging out with Teresa more and more.

I'm going to hold out hope that they can get back to gether - at least until I get confirmation of their irreconcilable split from the Drudge Report.

Excellent way to show how great divorce is!

This is just a result of the decaying morals in the U.S. society...won't somebody think of the children...?!?

I've known something has been wrong with them for years. Ken never looked ineterested in Barbie, and my sister used to steal my Six-Million Dollar Man action figure for Barbie...

It's pretty common knowledge that GI Joe and Barbie had been gettin' it on for years.

Barbie and Ken are fake. You guys are stupid. Poopieheads.

Funny, when I met them for breakfast the other day that's exactly what they said about you.

They are backstabbers. It has a worse meaning for Ken than it does for Barbie.

Oh, I know. You wouldn't believe what they said about Pappa Smurf!

Dude, I thought everyone knew the reason, Ken's gay!

Exactly. With all this gay marriage talk in the press, Ken realized his love was not for Barbie but for GI Joe.

GI Joe isn't gay.

Facts. It is all about facts.

You got nothing.

That certainly explains the Papa Smurf comment.

Ken likes the rugged men...not that there's anything wrong with that.

Hmm. You know, come to think of it, Don't ask, Don't tell has been around for a while...and nobody's ever actually seen GI Joe play with girls.

Naw, couldn't be.

It's only a matter of time before Barbie locks lips with Madonna on National TV

Maybe Ken and Brittney Spears will get married now.
