Barbie dolls are flying off the shelves in South Africa ? ------------------------------------------------ We have seen Barbie sales surge by 30 percent, said local marketing manager for global retailer Toys R Us ? ------------------------------------------------- The iconic toy, has been a household name in south African for decades ? ------------------------------------------------ Barbi has blown even our most optimistic predictions out of the water said Jeff Goldstein and Andrew Cripps, who oversee domestic and international distribution for the studio, in a joint statement ? ----------------------------------------- https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/warner-bros-movie-barbie-ticket-sales-top-1-billion-2023-08-06/ -------------------------------------------------
vulnarable optimistic joyful women got rare in movies in the last few years due to feminism worked into every single brand. From Hulk to Ghostbusters, "MEN" in black and Star Wars, absolutely all of them "empower women", make women laughably hard and men surrounding them pittiful losers, and it's just awful and painful to watch. that's why.
With all this LBGT going on in schools, it's no surprise to me that they are encouraging feminism with men in this movie, which is clearly geared toward kids. I will not be watching this movie.
There is a healthy middle ground which got completely lost on western civilization. From women who were relegated to smile at the bbq parties when coworkers were invited and otherwise traverse between kitchen and bedroom; to the woke feminist debauchery today where women either sell themselves as "sugar daddy" whores with no other skills than smiling on tictoc or abusive career terminators or the Harry Potter round rimmed glass wearing college misfit. What about the woman who deserves respect for her self-earned accomplishments that she displays in a humble manner, so attractive, her husband begs her to ultimately make a lot of decisions due to her acquired wisdom? Where are those women? Hardly anywhere to be found. Not that the situation with most men looks any more promising. That a movie like Barbie can be so successful is emblematic of today's lost generation whose lives are so miserable and hopeless that the only way to cope is the 2 hour escape into fantasyland. That this pipedream is delivered by the currently wokest content creator speaks volumes. Anyone who watches this movie has a screw lose.
Warner Bros. Discovery. (ticker: WBD) ? ------------------------------------------------- Barbie was the No. 1 movie in 35 markets with a total worldwide cumulative take of $1.034 billion ? ------------------------------------------------- Greta Gerwig directed and co-wrote Barbie, based on Mattel’s most popular doll ? ----------------------------------------------------------
I try to de-tox myself by avoiding any more toxic feminism and other wokeness the sheeple like to follow lately. There is only so much craziness out of Hollywood I can put up with.
Is it just me or does WBD's 5-day chart there look suspiciously like the Fed's balance sheet starting around 2017?
