The True Life Adventures of Barbie and G.I. Joe

The world’s toughest super-soldiers and America’s iconic blonde bimbo in a steamy true story of media terrorism and the fleecing of families worldwide. Hang out in the recording booth with the TV Cartoon voice of G.I. Joe’s “Flint,” and follow media terrorists into the toy store for the wildly funny, true story of the most effective mega-merchandising campaigns (and the sneakiest voice transformations) in the history of toydom. Learn why Mattel’s mom felt the world needed Barbie. Witness their humiliation as Barbie finds out that neither Ken nor Warrant Officer “Flint” have very much going on down there. No longer just a 12-inch male Barbie-doll, G.I. Joe morphed into a team of 3 1/2-inch master-fighters who would battle world terrorism, and together with Barbie overpower the wallets of children everywhere. From the darkest Christmas night ever, to the G.I. Joe voiceover auditions, and the gathering of real live troops at G.I. Joe/Con, hear the story of Barbie and G.I. Joe as it’s never been told before by premier voiceover artist Bill Ratner.
