A quick check on social media shows Barbie fever is catching on… everywhere. From pink Crocs to Google splash pages that pop pink, it’s incredibly hard to miss the Barbie movie cross-promotions.
Now, Michigan State Police are getting involved. In a clever post Thursday afternoon, the state’s law enforcement agency used this week’s Barbie movie release to recruit for the MSP. As the social media post reads, “When you join the MSP, #YouCanBeAnything. From a trooper to a forensic scientist, a motor carrier officer, to a pilot, the possibilities are endless.”
The tagline encourages interested parties to find out more at https://Michigan.gov/MSPJobs.
Not to be outdone, Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s office has a Barbie-themed press post. The pink-suit Barbie resembles the governor at work, behind a podium at the state capitol, and sharing a message of, “Making it in the real world can be tough. That’s why I’m taking action to help even more Michiganders make it in Michigan. We’re investing in every corner of our state and creating opportunities, so every Barbie (and Ken!) can live their dream life.”
WSJM News reached out to Ken for comment on both of these social media posts, but as of yet, there has been no response.
