1959 First Ever Barbie Commercial--You can Tell It's Mattel, It's Swell!



Check out the not so subtle propaganda here, as an angelic female voice croons, "someday I'm gonna be exactly like you. 'Til then I know just what I'll do. Barbie, beautiful Barbie, I'll make believe that I am you!" Pan very obviously on Barbie in a wedding dress and veil...

As much as I dislike the propaganda, I did love playing dress up with Barbie as a child. If only I had those Barbies today...
