Let's see if I got this right... Barbie started out in the 50's with her high-school sweetheart Ken, a good boy from Ohio. But in 2004 years ago she tired of him and dumped him for "an Aussie surfer called Blaine". Then Ken got a job as a mortgage broker for a covert subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, made the big bucks, got out in 2007, put his 401(k) into Treasury securities and has been living in Palm Beach ever since. And now that the Great Recession has hit, Barbie is unemployed and needs a sugar daddy.
