Hey, it’s Aging Baby Boomer Barbie

Episode 6: Polymer Degradation. The horror!—  Ken and Barbie must sell their Corvette and their condo in Malibu to support their parents in a long-term-care facility. A door-to-door evangelist gets them thinking about shelf-life and product expiration dates. They discover they were the first models made of biodegradable injection-molded plastic, and now microorganisms in the environment are already metabolizing their molecular structure to produce an inert, humus-like material. That is their destiny. They receive little comfort from the fact they will not harm the environment by becoming part of it. An existential crisis ensues. Will they lash out at each other or come to terms with their fate and submit to the hand of the Maker?
