!! OMG, Mattel releases Aaliyah edition Barbie, it sells out immediately !!

“Mattel is honored to induct the legendary Aaliyah, an artist who redefined the R&B genre and left an indelible mark on the ‘90s music scene, as our latest honoree in the Barbie Signature Music Series. Thirty years after the release of her iconic debut single, ‘Back and Forth,’ we invite fans to celebrate Aaliyah’s remarkable legacy.”

And the doll is already SOLD OUT! Hopefully they restock soon, cuz we might just need to pick one up ourselves! After all, it IS Aaliyah.

The Barbie team worked closely with Aaliyah’s brother, Rashad Haughton, not only to develop the concept for the doll, but to make sure they were accurately capturing and celebrating her legacy and persona. “I can vividly remember my sister playing with her favorite Barbie dolls for hours when we were kids. She would make them sing, dance, and perform little concerts,” said Haughton in a statement. “It’s clear to me now that she was imagining dreams that would eventually become reality when she embarked on a career in entertainment at just fifteen years old.”

Both supporters and opponents of Jones bid on it, with his supporters planning to keep him doing the same thing, but The Onion won, with support from some of the Sandy Hook families.

The Onion now owns Infowars’ studio, archives, trademarks, website, and social media; Jones plans to challenge the sale. LOL

The Onion says Infowars’ launch advertiser will be Everytown for Gun Safety, and gun safety will remain part of the site’s messaging. Good on them! Find Onion CEO Bryce P. Tetraeder‘s full statement on the purchase of the fallen
