Doing bad things to a Ken doll has been a running joke among me and some girlfriends for about 10 years.

He showed up in a tiny stitched gold-lame' thong at the wedding shower of one of them, as "the stripper".
He appeared floating on a raft in the punch bowl of the baby shower of another one.

And when one got married we went looking for a tux for him to attend the wedding in. We couldn't find one, but did find a wedding gown that (sort of) fit. So Ken went to the wedding in drag, earrings, shoes, veil, and all. We had to leave the dress open in the back, though.

He had a place of honor seated in the foliage on the mantle behind the bride and groom, and ended up in most of the pictures. He also made an appearance on the dance floor that night...

Probably before you were born, there was a move, The Groove Tube. It was made way before Chevy Chase was even on SNL; he and a bunch of his friends made it and it was basically skits.

The one I remember the most was one about Barbie and Ken and it had a little poem with it.

The poem ended with:

Everybody said
their marriage was a failure
Because neither
Ken or Barbie had any genitalia

Now every time I see one of them....well, you know. :-)
