(Before: appropriate children's cartoon. After: mini-Paris Hilton wanna-be.)
If you weren't a child in the 1980s, I'm sorry. Because children born after that magical decade are sadly lacking in quality toys and Saturday morning cartoon role models. The company behind Strawberry Shortcake turned the lovable little girl into a mini-Bratz doll, complete with cellphone. (Who would a little magical girl who lives in a strawberry patch have to call? Pizza Hut?)
The kicker? The cellphone replaces her cat, Custard, as her favorite playmate. And we thought of the '80s as the "Me" decade of consumer indulgence.
