Barbie has once again proven she’s the woman for any crisis, starring in a new ad that skewers the anti-vax brigade.
The spoof spot’s the work of US talkshow host Jimmy Kimmel and his writing team and continues a concerted – albeit humorous – attack by the program on those who baulk at the power of science.
Dressed in T-shirts that read ‘I call my own shots’ and ‘I am not your lab rat’, ‘anti-vax’ Barbie is described as “strong”, “independent” and someone who “doesn’t trust science”.
During the spot we see Barbie “throw a Karen” and start a fight in a grocery store for refusing to wear a mask, drink horse medicine and even get gaffer taped to an aeroplane seat.
Barbie’s man Ken also makes a cameo in a rather controversial ‘Let’s go Brandon’ T-shirt. The ad finishes by telling viewers that Barbie’s “dream ventilator” is sold separately.
