Pamela Ribon (born April 4, 1975)[1] is an American screenwriter, author, television writer, blogger and actress. In November 2014, she found a Barbie book from 2010 titled I Can be a Computer Engineer. She decried elements of the book where Barbie appeared to be reliant on male colleagues. Mattel has since ceased publishing the book.[2][3] Also known as Pamie and Wonder Killer, she runs the website pamie.com. She was one of the original recappers for Television Without Pity. Her commencement address[4] for the 2019 College of Fine Arts graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin was praised by Texas Monthly.[5]
