Not surprisingly, Barbie joins the virtual pet craze. Confer:

In other Mattel news, Jill Barad, the martinet Barbie who runs
Mattel Corporation (CEO and Pres.), has joined Steve Jobs's
Pixar Animation Studios, the outfit responsible for Toy Story.
Pixar has long term deals with Disney. So does Mattel.

It is all just one big fraternity. Disney stock is down 7%
since the 18 June 1997 Baptist boycott was announced.
Hercules is a bust having garnered a mere $66 million
at the box office and a bust for Mattel, too. If the recently
announced Dis' Disney campaign and other angry and
dissatisfied entities can substantially impact Disney's
bottom line, a foul wave might wash over Mattel, as
well.

Oh, too bad.
