Mattel's Dirty Little Secret

I remember hearing about this little cultural faux-pas a couple years ago, but I couldn't imagine it to be true, seeing as how countless people must've approved its production. But today, worldofwonder.net had a link to an actual picture of the infamous Oreo Barbie, so I can deny it no longer. Seeing is believing I guess. I also researched the history of it to make sure it wasn't a hoax. It has since been recalled, of course, and fetches a pretty penny on eBay. Wow, that must've been the worst idea in the history of bad ideas. Click on the pic for a larger version.

Seriously. Who are these people that not only come up with this stuff, but then let it get through all of the steps before being sold in stores? And with so little brain power, how do they manage to get dressed in the morning?
