If you’re not up to speed on your meaningless daytime television, there’s a British woman by the name of Sarah Burge who is known as the Human Barbie. Over the last 20 years, she’s undergone hundreds of cosmetic surgeries at a cost of over $500,000. Fine, right? Who are we to judge what a woman does to her body, although you’d think with a half a million dollar investment, she’d have a better face than the plastic face-looking substance that adorns her head.
BUT, this horrible human is also a terrible mother. She taught her six year old to pole dance, and when that six year old turned seven, for her birthday her mother gave her a $6,000 voucher for a boob job. For Christmas, she received a $7,000 voucher for liposuction, and then for her eighth birthday, she received an $8,000 voucher for more cosmetic surgeries. To be fair, the daughter can’t use those vouchers until she’s 18, and I’m SURE it’s a much better use of the money than, say, COLLEGE.
Anyway, yesterday, Sarah Burge was on Anderson Cooper’s daytime talk show, and during the interview, Burge insisted that botox was good for a 15 year old girl because it would prevent her from sweating, and sweating is yucky, and you’d never catch Beyonce sweating, right? That’s when Cooper politely lost it, called this woman a horrible person, and ended the interview. “I try to be polite to all my guests,” he says, “but I just think you’re dreadful.”
Here’s the awesome video evidence.
And here was the reaction from the Internet.
Hell, even King Joffrey thinks Sarah Burge is horrible.

Nothing says “I love you” to a child than vouchers for extensive plastic surgery.
“Oh, sweetie, I know you wanted a new dolly, but you’re fucking hideous that I think we need to forgo presents for now and save up so the doctors can cut you open and turn you into a brittle plastic shell that looks as shitty as I do. OK? Nighty-night, hon.”
I agree in theory, but offer this counterpoint: College is fucking worthless unless she becomes a neurosurgeon or engineer.
Horrible -woman-? I see a young girl and a guy in drag in that pic.
In his/her defense, she/he was great on “30 Rock.”
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Game: Otto Man
I usually like Anderson Cooper, but not here. There’s no way he didn’t know this lady’s story before she came on the show. He might have been (rightfully) disgusted, but his walk-off was just a lame, if brilliant, ploy to get people talking about his show.
And you’ve fallen right into his fiendish trap.
Watch it, Josh.
Sure, it’s a ploy, but Cooper’s job is to make good TV. And you’re right: the idea was to get people talking, and he was successful.
A few years ago, I had the displeasure of watching Montel Williams’ talk show. I don’t doubt for one second that Williams is an intelligent man, but he was asking these poor, unfortunate souls really stupid questions, just to get a rise out of the audience. He knows his audience is likely unemployed troglodytes that clap their Dorito-stained forearms together* whenever something lurid or absurd shows up on the ol’ idiot box. Why do you think they still make daytime courtroom shows?
I agree with you that Cooper’s disgust is manufactured, but he’s just doing his job well. He may be somewhat of a news man, but he’s still a TV personality.
*Thanks, Patton Oswalt.
It’s true, he’s a manipulative genius.
Man, DG, that Cooper gif gets me everytime, You could go on a Pro-Hitler rant and end it with that and i’d probably tend to have to agree.
As great as this is, I still feel smug self satisfaction that, after seeing him play last week, I could beat Anderson Cooper in Jeopardy.
well done. and he won in a landslide.
He should have gone full-blown (heh) Johnny-from Airplane! on this woman: “…but I just think you’re dreadful. And where did you get that dress, it’s awful, and those shoes and that coat, jeeeeez!”
What does she do for a living? Where does she get her money?
Rinsing?
I was wondering that too. Is there a husband/father involved here? Is he on board with the ridiculousness?
I love you, you pasty silver fox, you.
She should have told a poop joke, that would have gotten her back into Anderson’s good graces.
Oof. Did she just walk into her plastic surgeon’s office with a “Stay Hungry” LP and say “make me look like THAT”?
To be fair, the little girl was pretty flat.
There’s half a million in that face? Where? Money would’ve been better spent on a 3 day weekend bender in Vegas.
To be fair, this awful, AWFUL woman is not the only one who labors under the delusion that pretty people don’t sweat. The skinny girls at the gym are the only ones I’ve ever noticed refusing to wipe the machines down when they’re done. Gross.
Act or not, I hope this become a trend among talk show people. Like Dr. Phil should’ve done to the Wannabe-Fattest-Woman.
Hmmm …not bad, but not up to the throat-punch that she deserved.
Yeah, the mom looks like a tranny. I guess that’s the trend among rich women now: they aspire to look like female impersonators, instead of actual females, with giant fake tits, more makeup than most women wear in a month and skankwear straight from Forever 21.
$500,000 down the drain, she doesn’t look a thing like Barbie.
what’s with y’all saying it’s a ploy. you can hear about someone’s personality and not really know/be struck by how bad it is until you speak to them.
I’m not sure how I feel about this. The woman is repugnant, yes, but it still seems a little low to bring someone on your show and then call her terrible right to her face in front of a live studio audience that applauds. Not that she doesn’t deserve that kind of scorn, but it just seems a little beneath someone like Anderson Cooper. On the other hand, I guess maybe that’s more honorable than just writing about the person or something. Still seems like it’s something Anderson Cooper shouldn’t be doing. More like Ricki Lake territory.
When did Anderson Cooper become Montel Williams?
