The new Hello Barbie, showed off at the New York Toy Fair on Saturday, will actually be able to listen to kids’ words and change its own language to adapt to their preferences, BBC reports. Tell Barbie you like dancing, and she’ll mention dancing in a later conversation, for example. A speech-recognition company called ToyTalk is programming Barbie’s speaking and listening capabilities.
The necklace on the doll will feature both the microphone and the speaker that help enable the conversations. Hello Barbie will retail for $74.99 when it launches, likely in time for the holiday season. The doll requires a Wi-Fi connection to talk, though kids can of course continue to use Barbie the old-fashioned way when the Internet’s down.

And what kind of propaganda could it possibly be programmed to feed our kids.

I guess Mattel took that SNL “Ghetto Barbie” skit [complete with a Forty, a pack a Newports and a restrain’ order for Ken doll] very seriously.

Yeah and no one could ever hack into it. Tell your kid to go outside and get in that car waiting for you with a big lolly pop. Oh yeah that could never happen here......(sarcasm off)
What about if it’s the illegally listening to you and your wife’s private or political conversations? After all DHS is saying the “Right Wingers” and not Islamic terrorist are the biggest threat.
Shouldn’t they call the conversational “Barbie”, “Eliza”?

6 months? How long you been married or involved with wymmens?
"Look me in the eyes. You are getting sleepy...verrry sleepy."
"Wanna Play?"
"Kill my Landlord...Kill my Landlord"
"And then you mix the ammonia and the bleach in the toilet to get it really,, really clean..."
(with apologies to Chucky fans and Eddie Murphy, and chemists everywhere...Nosferatu is on his own.)
Yeah. What could possibly go wrong?
“Hello Barbie”, because “NSA Barbie” just wasn’t going to help push sales.
Creepy. It’s bad enough to have a doll around, but a doll that talks?
When I was a kid, I genuinely believed that ventriloquist dummies were demons from hell. I can’t imagine what kinds of nightmares a Barbie like this would give me.
I shudder to think what the Japanese will do with the concept.
