'Barbie: A Fairy Secret' Book Cover: Viewers Wonder If Doll Has Gone Gay (VIDEO)


Posted: 11/22/11 05:58 PM ET

Though the "Earring Magic" scandal is now long behind him, Barbie's boyfriend just can't seem to escape constant speculation about his true "sexual orientation."

But now, a new animated picture on a Barbie sticker book is once again igniting controversy, with many bloggers suggesting that, from the looks of Ken, it's Barbie who may have actually switched teams this time around. The Advocate has noted Ken's resemblance to Ellen Degeneres, while others have been quick to comment on the no-doubt-unintended double entendre of the book's title, "A Fairy Secret."

Check out the book, which can be found at Barnes & Noble, below:

The very fact that you felt compelled to click on this story and comment several times tells me you are too obsessed with condemning gays. That means you are a secret self loathing gay who needs to come out of the closet and learn to love yourself.

I am shocked, horrified and threatened by this unfair and unreasonable assault on Barbie! An assault on Barbie is an assault on all that is America! (Ken's hair is pretty gender bendy hot, though.)

Dear Ken:

Dumped by Barbie for Ellen DeGeneres? That's OK. God loves you --- and so do I.

Hugs,

Marcus Bachmann ....

P.S. Don't tell Mcihele ...

He looks like a cross between Ellen Degeneres & Justin Bieber which ends up being Owen Wilson!
