The sales bump is already being factored into forecasts, with the American multinational on track to record its highest level of growth in decades. While it could seem Kreiz is talking his business up, the numbers speak for themselves. This means it “might not be able to cater for all of the demand, simply because the demand is so strong” - not such an issue at all. “We're seeing strength and demand still there.
Mattel pushed price rises through in its third quarter to cope with inflation, yet even that is not dampening appetite. “We have seen early shopping, but, you know, this doesn't mean that it is instead of or a trade off for the end of the year,” Kreiz says. Instead it is struggling to keep up with demand as people simply buy more. The reason being, Kreiz argues, is that for Mattel it is not proving such a hurdle. It seems an usual attitude to take as supply chain disruptions cause havoc ahead of the festive season. “We're going to try to meet all of the demand, but I'm not sure we’ll be able to,” he says, almost shrugging. "Everyone saw a fat nose on thick legs." (11) In this day and age being the butt of every ones jokes can turn suicidal or homicidal in the future of the person being made fun of.With Christmas mere weeks away and reports of toy shortages rippling across the world, Ynon Kreiz would be forgiven for appearing flustered.īut the boss of Barbie owner Mattel doesn’t appear to be losing sleep over the idea that it could struggle to get toys into shops for the festive season. It's very weird that her fellow peers are extremely close minded. No person in the world should have to apologize for the way they look.
It's unnecessary to apologize for something that's out of your hands. "She was healthy, tested intelligent." (7) Unfortunately, this comment made about her sometime ago still haunts her. The second paragraph states that this girl is very smart, normal, and has every chance in the world of becoming something good in her life.
At this time is where "Being dead and perfect, is better than being alive and imperfect" begins to get imbedded in her mind. That is why many young women today have very low self-esteem. A comment from the adolescent years can stay in your head forever. At this moment she begins to think that she is not good enough. "You have a great big nose and fat legs." (6) is very harsh for an adolescent to hear when she's just beginning to develop. When she hits puberty, someone says something that will affect her life forever. In the beginning of this poem, the main character is living a normal, and happy childhood. Yet she is famous, not for her voice, not for her acting skills, but because she is beautiful. Britney Spears is pretty, but she has no talent. In reality, the American youth doesn't have very good role models. It is really sad how looks are more important than intelligence and talent. Society makes you think that it's better to be dead and perfect, than alive and imperfect. Most girls this day and age have the same state of mind. The poem "Barbie Doll" by Marge Piercy, states that this girl would rather be dead and beautiful, than alive and "ugly". Death Is Better Than Being Imperfect-NOT!
