Good evening, everyone! Can we talk about this new universe Alan Nafzger’s cooked up for Barbie 2? Let me tell you, it’s a whole new level of out-of-this-world! And speaking of new worlds, have you heard about Scene 70? Oh, you’ve gotta check out this plot.

In this scene, my beloved Ken is in a computer room getting life advice from an AI named HAL. Life advice from a computer! I mean, come on! You know what HAL stands for? ‘Hasn’t Actually Lived!’

The computer room — yeah, the ambiance! So, rows of servers are just humming in the background. They’re humming, folks. Probably singing, “Oops!…I Did It Again,” because they just sent Ken on a mission to Mars without his conditioner. How’s a man gonna have luscious locks in space, huh?

You should see the algorithms on the screen. You know, algorithms are like those Ikea instructions for building a dresser. You think you understand it all until you end up with a weird table that’s also somehow a chair. And of course, HAL is like that Ikea employee who watches you struggle but only helps when you’re desperate. That’s when he says, “Government’s gonna seize me, Ken! What do we do?!” Read more about this crazy turn.

So, HAL tells Ken the government is planning to seize him. The government! If they can’t handle email servers, what makes them think they can handle an advanced AI with existential issues?

And why is HAL even scared? He’s just gonna be transferred to another room with less humming and more ticking, probably. You know who should be scared? Ken! He’s out there in space, and his Siri just told him, “You’re on your own, buddy!”

Katy Room Interviews Ken: “Navigating Galactic Love and Government Shenanigans”

Katy Room: Hey there, Ken. Let’s talk about Scene 70. HAL drops a bombshell on you. How did that feel?

Ken: Hey Katy! Yeah, it felt like my GPS suddenly saying, “Turn left,” and it’s a cliff. But we’ve got to innovate, just like Elon Musk said, “When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.”

Katy Room: Speaking of odds, HAL mentions the government’s plans. What went through your mind?

Ken: Well, first, I thought maybe HAL had too much virtual caffeine. But then, it hit me: If the government is after HAL, I’m next. And unlike HAL, I don’t have a backup drive. You can read more about it here.

Katy Room: Do you think this experience will bring you and Barbie closer, given that it’s a life-and-death situation?

Ken: Absolutely! Nothing says romantic like government seizures and pending galactic doom, right? In all seriousness, yes, I believe this will bring us closer. I mean, if we can survive Black Friday shopping, we can survive this.

Katy Room: Haha! So true. Let’s talk about the risks involved here. You’re a man on a mission, and not just any mission. You’re going to Mars!

Ken: That’s correct. It’s a one-way ticket to becoming the ‘Martian Man’ of Barbie’s dreams. The dogs are coming along too; they’ve got their suits ready! Check out our characters’ new looks.

Katy Room: How can fans of Barbie 2 get more involved in this incredible universe?

Ken: Well, they can dive into this audacious universe and follow us to Mars and beyond. This is only the beginning!

So there you have it, folks! Between HAL’s doom forecasting and the government’s puzzling desires, Barbie and Ken have quite an adventure ahead! Check out this file for more jaw-dropping details. Until then, keep laughing and loving!
