    She looks very like Ozzie Osborne in drag. Thinking about it, we never see them both together. Come on Ozzie, this joke's gone a bit too far.

    These should be imported to the Falklands in bulk and issued free of charge to all owners of public dart boards ,The Victory bar and Gluepot in particular.The Falklands defence force and the Bisley team would put them to very good use.The team at Gilbert House could also use them as a frustration toy.If we cannot get our hands on them then maybe we could produce our own version and get funding from the Falkland Islands Development Corporation !

    I guess you could pay off the national debt by selling pins.

    This is what I love about Cristina, a light touch and even a bit of self-deprecation while pushing a very progressive policy. How can anyone now say she's a dictator?! And the picture is very pretty =) Btw why was this in the Brazil section but not the Argentina one??

    Pull the string at the back and it screams “Malvinas Argentinas”.“Who is the fairest in the land ?” More Botox! ”
    Do they do a larger version to scare birds from the garden ?

    The series is planned to rival Mattel's Barbie line, with future products to include a Aerolinas plane with authentic nosedive feature, and a Maximo doll with lifelike Cream bun accessories.

    Cristina: “I SAID, Thunderbirds are GO!”
    Mujica: “Yes, Lady Penelope”.

    The doll could do a better job of running Argentina than CFK does.

    “I love that one of Him with wings, it’s a dream” what is wrong with this woman?. Its almost a shame Argentina dusn't have that odd India tradition of putting the widow on the funeral pyre (alive). Would of saved us all from pictures of it on mercopress.

    This wearing black schtick shes on is just weird and now there is a doll in that extended grieving widow mode. Why would she be proud of that?

    Excellent comedy story.

    “Do they do a larger version to scare birds from the garden ?”

    If they do, BK will be first in line to get one...not sure it will be for scaring the birds though!

    @22
    BK @12 wondered why this appeared in the 'Brazilian' section.Maybe she had her garden trimmed ! (with bolt cutters)
    You could imagine BK taking his doll to the movies.

    It was designed as a marketing tool for Bottox International to shows how it looke like on an old wrinkled woman treated with Pottox, sorry Bottox.....
    It will be used also to threaten bad kids when they go to bed......or to avoid by fear that thieves get into the house .....or to get dogs dumb by night.....so, it will be very useful.....and it value is less than a “chaucha” (similar to a pence).
    It was named the “CFK devil's doll” on her honor.

    @12 Saving up to buy the “set”, are you?
    @17 It's so LIFE-LIKE!! I bet the head and arms come off so she can use it in bed at night. Mind you, that would probably be the “Nestor” doll. Keep the head and arms to give “Slack Alice” a bigger thrill, eh?

    @23 because they need the money after china pulled a 23 billion dollar steel plant plan, well there's a surprise make all the right noises whilst thier there and soon as they're home it's scrub that. CFK is a total joke and gets worse by the day, embarrasing and the only one who can't see it is BK and his W*^K sock what an utter tit. Oh thats the other one. Bet Bk has bought half a dozen already in case he wears them out quickly as I dare say the quality won't be that good. Dickheads get a fookin grip, why is this even being reported?

    “The motive of the ceremony was to hand out the first DNI identity cards issued to members of the transsexual and transvestite communities”

    They already have DNI's they just want to be able to say they're female / male without having the operation......

    30 KFC de Pollo: I couldn't figure out connexion between dolls and CFK's DNI ceremony, but apparently, dolls are made by an artisan Laly Baliner, who has some link to the lesbian-mothers group Lesmadres.

    While one might surmise that CFK supports the doll-making bit because of Berliner's “progressive” tie to the lesbian-mothers/DNI initiative, seems that Laly Berliner is also a staunch “Malvinista” supporter, at least as suggested by one of her facebook photo of dolls+“Malvinas are Argentine” signs.
