Gendered Advertizing Remixer

This could get addicting. Drag clips into the audio and video boxes up in the center top of the screen. Hit play. It mashes up ads for gendered toys from TV.

Very cool parents! I had some girl toys and was nuts over horses so I had plastic ones. But I also had Bionic Woman with action car.

Then Reagan was elected and everything got really gendered again. I wish I'd kept the Bionic car. It was really well made!

My room was even painted pink.

Now my hair is dyed blue. Funny that.

Some subversive switched the voice boxes on the Barbie and GI Joe dolls. Pull Barbie's cord, and she growled "Die, enemy scum!", while GI Joe purred "Let's go shopping!" Well done!
