I remember my sister liking Strawberry Shortcake back a good 8 years ago, but I didn't even know she was still around... :\

Geez....sounds like another episode of "When games go mainstream" (kinda like "when wild animals attack", but WAY more relevant...)...heads are gonna roll for this one.  And whoever bright idea this was can whistle the theme song while he/she packs up his/her office cubicle.
