Turbulence in Barbie's world after Oscar snub, Donald Trump approaching the White House, Taylor Swift as agitator: only one person can help – pageant satirist Jon Stewart.
The world of pink Barbie has been in crisis ever since Hollywood turned its nose up at the mega-blockbuster. no Oscar nomination for director Greta Gerwig, no consideration for “Barbie” Margot Robbie. This amounts to an affront. “Kenough” is the motto in reference to Barbie's companion, Ken, against the machismo of the cinematic world. Hillary “Lock Her Up” Clinton comforted Gerwig and Robbie: “You are so much more than Kenough.”
She also mentions Donald Trump's past play on racism. He insinuates that Nikki Haley, because she is the daughter of Indian immigrants, has no right to run for president. Her subtext: How dare she compete with me? In denigration of her birth name, Nimarata, he calls her Nimbra. Haley is used to this kind of thing. In South Carolina, little Nimarata – whose middle name was Nikki – was no longer allowed to participate in a beauty pageant. She didn't fit into the blonde Barbie world.
Meanwhile, revenge threatens from Democratic firebrand Taylor Swift and Amazon, according to Fox News conspiracy theorists. What about Lady Gaga? Has the US gone crazy? But there's good news: satirical star Jon Stewart is celebrating her return. Every Monday on the “Daily Show” he comments on the nonsense and insanity of the election campaign. Jon Stewart for President!
