Am I the only one who is completely angry about THIS?!
C'mon, Hasbro, that's the best you can do?! Why not just whip up a batch of all pink, yellow, and orange apparel to go with - perhaps an apron, a poodle skirt, a pair of demure heels, and...oh, maybe a straitjacket?! This is seriously the best your hardworking toy designers could come up with? Really?! Would it have KILLED you to include perhaps, oh say, a bookcase or a computer?
I have an idea, we'll just insert a chip in every little girl's brain upon birth programming her to wish for only traditionally female life goals. That way, when each one receives her very own cottage - where "an entire world where they can play, discover, and explore," she'll feel right at home. Assuming, that is, that her list of dreams and aspirations is comprised solely of the following tasks: cooking, cleaning, decorating, doing the laundry, and popping out babies. How 'bout that? It'll be like the 1950's all over again! Fantastic!
Currently in Development for Holiday Shopping 2008: Big Strong Burly Man Shed - a residential, imagination toy for strapping young men. Complete with tools, hunting gear, sports equipment, a 6-pack of brewskies, and a manual on how to manage your future wife.
Update: Apparently, I'm not the only one who feels this way. (thanks for the link, KT!)
