X-Entertainment | C.U.T.I.E.



	My dying wish is for an owl/camel hybrid, which I call camowl.

C.U.T.I.E.

The latest article is about C.U.T.I.E. figures, Mattel's attempt to cash in on their more boyish success with the M.U.S.C.L.E. line, which came out in the same year. I had very little to say about these, and it shows. Still, I'd gotten enough e-mail about 'em to warrant a little article, so hopefully this will put all those 'what r those things that are luke MUSCLE but more for girls and dancing women?' e-mails. Tomorrow, hopefully, the Kool-Aid Man makes his triumphant return to X-E.

PS - great response thread on the post below this. If you like candy, check it out.

I hope the E.T.s eat the little girls digestive tracks!

Y’know what that picture with the C.U.T.I.E.S. and the army of E.T. figurines looks like? A junior-high school dance. All the C.U.T.I.E.S. (girls) are out on the floor dancing like idiots while the E.T.s (guys) are standing around pensively dreading an invitation to join in. But I gotta tell you…there’s something else at work in that image…something eerily unsavory. Maybe it’s the dead expressions in the eyes of all those E.T.s, maybe it’s the way they’re all rubbing their saggy little bellies…whatever the case, you can tell something terrible is about to happen…

There’s a booth at my local flea market that has had the same five boxes of CUTIES marked for 10 cents each for at least two years now.

Oh, and on the UK/US potato chip debate: I was testing for a job I wanted the other day and noticed that they had "Hot Dog and Mustard" chips in the vending machine. I was really, really grossed out by the thought of it.

I HAD CUTIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I had like, more cuties than bombs dropped on Baghdad. I SWEAR! I used to light them on fire though and watch their little bodies melt away. Always good for a second or third degree burn anyway.

hey, matt, why don’t you do an article on your pac-man tatoo??
Why you picked pac-man, and everything.
I would love to hear about that.

Chestnuts roasted by Tony @ 04/17/2003 8:06 PM

Were the CUTIES supposed to be the MUSCLE guys’ girlfriends or something? If not, then why target little plastic girls to boys?

Chestnuts roasted by Evan @ 04/17/2003 8:39 PM

Holy Crap! An Army of E.Ts!! They’ve arrived! Why did nobody listen to me when I tried to warn them??

There IS something sinister about that picture! The way the sweet children play on, blissfully unaware of what is aproaching behind them…

I’d give 5 bucks to see the picture taken AFTER that one! Speilberg might have an avenue for a sequel afterall!

I like pants!

Chestnuts roasted by Koz @ 04/17/2003 11:01 PM

Yes, Koz, you have established MANY times that you like pants. Isn’t there anything else you like?

Chestnuts roasted by Mr. Mr. Mr. @ 04/17/2003 11:37 PM

Wow. And I thouhgt i’d seen everything.
On a side note, when did the boobie girl appear in the bottom corner of the main page?

Chestnuts roasted by RyanMan @ 04/17/2003 11:52 PM

Wow, that is REALLY lame. Even my SISTER collected M.U.S.C.L.E. figures.

Of course, she was a huge tom boy.

M.U.C.U.S. figures are better.

I would say that the Pac-Man tattoo is relatively self explanatory. I’d really like to know the story about the tattoo on Matt’s other arm (Saturn?)
By the way, how’s the beta doing?

I missed out the past couple of days on the cadbury eggs, so here’s my $1.02.

First I HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, cadbury eggs. too much sweet, just nasty, and believe me I can take sweet. I ate a 5 lb bag of gummie bears in 3 hours once.

Second on stuff missing in the states, I was an exchange student to Australia back in 99. The best thing there was Tim Tams!!!!! I love Tim Tams! I love Tim Tams! I love Tim Tams! I love Tim Tams! I love Tim Tams! I love Tim Tams! Anywho, we also should have vegimite just for kicks.

Chestnuts roasted by brandon @ 04/18/2003 1:13 PM

OOh I love Vegemite/Marmite. I can’t find anyone in the US who’ll eat it though. If anyone tries, the thing to remember is to spread a THIN layer of it on bread, maybe add some cheese. It’s like delicious salty tar from Heaven.

Also, Brandon, you’ve now made me curious about Tim-Tams. What the heck are they?

Chestnuts roasted by Welsh Rabbit @ 04/18/2003 3:37 PM

Tim-tams are the Item I chose over alcohol to smuggle back into the U.S. (I was 18 and could purchase down there, luckily I had enough room for one bottle o’ vodka too) They’re a… well…. ummm…. here http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Atrium/2436/timtams/

Ya know, tin man, lately I’ve been experimenting with slapping arse with both hands, and to be perfectly honest, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Get it? Cracked? *sigh*

You can shoot me now.

Bang.

Chestnuts roasted by Gozer @ 04/18/2003 5:09 PM

Patty O’Furniture ha ha haaa

we get tim tams (kind of), in england. they seem like what we call "penguins"

penguins slap arse with both hands at the same time and then in percussion/drumroll type of way.
