Barbie to Baby Einstein: Get Over It

摘要

Who would win in a fight, baby Einstein or barbie? Baby Einstein isn't a character. He's just a brand. So that imaginary fight wouldn't be a fistfight. It'd be a fight for mind share and market share. It'd be a fight for dollars. Every day, in Targets and Wai-Marts across the country, those two brands go at it. Which one do you give your kid? It depends on how old your child is, obviously, but as any good super-mom will tell you, Baby Einstein is the choice of parents who want their daughter to speak Swahili by seventh grade and go to Harvard. They leave Barbies for people who, they imagine, just want their daughter to have a smile on her face and go to a great state college.
