Oh no! The world is coming to an end!

Barbie and Ken splitting after 43-year romance

After 43 years as one of the world's prettiest pairs, the perfect plastic couple is breaking up. The couple's "business manager," Russell Arons, vice president of marketing at Mattel, said that Barbie and Ken "feel it's time to spend some quality time -- apart."

"Like other celebrity couples, their Hollywood romance has come to an end," said Arons, who quickly added that the duo "will remain friends." [Boston.com]

I actually wish it was a messy breakup. Like Barbie finding him in bed with another man and going postal.
