1. I do like the shirt pattern

Since I do wear buns, I can relate, but the look isn't foe everyone.

2. Is there a for real man-bun Ken doll?

Under no circumstances would I allow my child to have such a thing.

[LisaM]

3. Yes, apparently so!

It should be marketed by HasBRO.

10. Very good!

I like that.

27. I saw that news clip and apparently there are a whole new array of Ken dolls

Different body types, complexions and hairstyles - but all still named Ken.

4. Hmm... He's kind of cute for a doll...

I'm sure most, if not all, of my granddaughters would like him just fine.

I just don't get what the big deal is. As a woman I wear a bun when my hair gets long and I want to keep it out of my face so why shouldn't a man with long hair do the same?

12. They also do it to cover bald spots

This is Welsh football star Gareth Bale.

Better and sexier than spray paint...

8. Apparently they fired the guy who made this

He had been at the company for 45 years and had just turned 70.

They told him to make it. He made it. He also told them it was stupid, so they fired him.

"Since neither Hillary or Chelsea are running for office, Ossoff's thin loss in a 40-year GOP district means we have to scapegoat Pelosi."
