Esta semana hemos visto este vídeo : GoldieBlox y la "Máquina Princesa" de Rube Goldberg .
Por razones de derechos de autor han quitado la parodia de la letra de la canción de los Beastie boys, pero era así:

Hey pretty girl... Hey pretty girl livin' in a pretty world.

GIRLS
You think you know what we want, GIRLS
Pink and pretty it's GIRLS
Just like the 50's it's GIRLS
You like to buy us pink TOYS
And everything else is for BOYS
And you can always get us DOLLS
And we'll grow up like them... FALSE!

It's time to CHANGE
We deserve to see a RANGE
'Cause all our toys look just the SAME
And we would like to use our BRAINS

We are all MORE THAN PRINCESS MAIDS

GIRLS, to build the spaceship
GIRLS, to code the new app
GIRLS, to grow up knowing that they can engineer that!
GIRLS
That's all we really need
GIRLS
To bring us up to speed
GIRLS
Our opportunity is
GIRLS
Don't underestimate GIRLS
GIRLS
GIRLS


Have a nice weekend.
Buen fin de semana.
