[ID: Tweet from Leah @grammedevanille reads “RIP Aux Anglophones Parce Que Le Jeu De Mots Avec Ken Est Incroyaaaaable
Quote Reply by @MathildeMerouani reads: French twitter losing its mind because they translated the Barbie poster literally and accidentally made a pun that reads 'She knows how to do everything. he just knows how to f*ck.'

Attached is a Barbie poster showing Barbie sitting on Ken's left shoulder and grinning. She has one hand splayed over his face. Text reads: Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling. Elle peut tout faire. Lui, c'est juste Ken. Au cinéma le 19 Juillet. /End]

I think that the legipillar outfit for babies is a fine idea, but that baby is developmentally way past the legipillar stage and is going to fall over. The baby is going to faceplant. Kid is like 3 years old. Dude. That kid is thinking about getting into a good college. That potato bag design is gonna hold him back
