The following appears in the Feb. 3rd issue of Forbes:
Some People Just Have Too Much Time
On its kids-oriented Barbie Web site, Mattel (nyse: MAT - news - people ) posted a tongue-in-cheek poll about careers for the 43-year-old, 1-billion-copy teenager doll. Adults took this seriously. Librarians, for example, put messages on Internet trade message boards urging colleagues to vote for their profession over, say, architect or cop. --W.P.B.
Is it just me or is anyone else insulted by the implication that librarians "just have too much time"?
Food for thought...
