Where's the Pflugerville Barbie?

I've seen this posted on MySpace as well. Do you know who created this? I asked my friend who posted it, and he said he didn't know.

I do find some of these stereotypes rather offensive, but many are funny as well.

I'm not sure who created it. I got it from a friend's post on MySpace. As for a Pflugerville Barbie...that would be me!

What happened to the South Austin (78704) Barbie? You know, the one with the hemp blouse and Ken with the peasant shirt? How about the Leslie Barbie? Then again, it is probably best you left that one out!

Someone said they are offended. I can only guess they are one or more of the stereotypes. If so, they should be offended but not by this post but by their own ignorance. Yes, I agree. It is funny.
