Action figures can really stretch

Click is supposed to be all about cool Web entertainment, and today I will not disappoint you. Yogabeans is a Web site that exists for one reason, and one reason only: To show plastic action figures doing yoga poses. And if that's your kind of thing, by all means.
The dialog is freakin' priceless:
Spiderman: "Okay, paarsvottanasana means "intense side stretch pose," so what you need to do first is step your feet about three feet apart and get your hands behind your back in reverse namaste."
Barbie: "Reverse namaste? What's that?"
Spiderman: "It's like -- it's like when you put your hands together in prayer, but you slide them up behind you, between your shoulderblades."
Barbie: "Ohmygod, reverse prayer position? That is totally the position of Satan."
Spider-man: "Uh, I never thought of it that way . . . "
Barbie: "Okay, listen, don't worry, I'm totally badass bendy, if Satan comes in I will get all up in his shit, okay? But is it okay if I lean up against the wall while we do this?"
Spider-man: "Why do you need the wall?"
Barbie: "Because I can't stand up on my goddamn feet."
Spider-man: "Whoa!"
Barbie: "See what I mean? I mean, I look really hot in heels but I'm fucked if I need to find a pair of sneakers that fit."
Spider-man: "Yeah, I can see how that'd be a problem . . ."
Barbie: "So, if you could just support me while I get into position?"
The blog writer calls herself (I'm assuming herness, but could be wrong) Elastigirl and issues this disclaimer:
None of the plastic action figures seen on this site are certified yoga instructors.
Fair enough.
