Back in black, midnight black

Medellín, COLOMBIA--In lieu of actual personal news, I present an update on my friend Midnight. I was checking my email this afternoon, which I am prone to do with the frequency of a goldfish crossing its bowl, and found a new comment message from Juancho--a fellow Midnight groupie, if you haven't fogotten. It read:

I am such an idiot, i just got the whole Ken and Barbie thing.

Whoa. That would be big news. Immediately I checked Midnight's post, a snippet left under my article on the many protests and marches in Colombia this week:

Social activism in the name of rights for the people, excellent!

Ken,

What good is it at all if you can’t spend it on yourself now and then or act like a rock star.

BARBIE

So, what is Juancho's theory? That Barbie's letters are Midnight's take on the Jane and Joe Schmoe point of view? If so, I don't agree. It doesn't explain the servomechanism and the cocaine caviar. Midnight is a nut, an indecipherable, across the board, over the top nut. His nuttiness is only surpassed by my willingness to write long posts about it. My apologies.
