commondreams has this link up of the increasingly stooopid marketing crap of pink, pink, pink crap for women. (Abby Zimet notes that it’s bad enough that we have to deal with Mourdock…um, no, unless you live here in Indiana, you only have to suffer listening to it–you don’t have to fear that he is probably going to get elected…

…and his comment that a pregnancy after rape was a gift from God kind of gives new meaning of men who think of themselves as a gift from God, doesn’t it??  I suppose his sperm should be considered a gift from God, too??)

The comments of customer feedback are too, too delicious.  I was going to suggest a pen in the shape of a vagina, but somebody beat me to it.

…or perhaps we could have one in the shape of a boob.

Some of the best ones:

I allowed my wife to write the grocery list with one of my pens. Shortly thereafter she went out and bought a bunch of flannel shirts, cut the sleeves off and grew a mullet. While she was writing her feminist manifesto, I secretly switched out the man pen with a BiC For Her. She’s now back to baking apple pies, vacuuming in heels, and popping bennies in order to keep her girlish figure… like a proper American gal.

Thank you BiC!

I tried these on a whim, and I have to say I wasn’t very impressed. The applicator mechanism is far too fiddly, and the plastic tampon inside far too thin (not to mention uncomfortable and non-absorbant) – I’m sure there must be a knack to using them, but I couldn’t find it. They also stained my knickers blue for some reason. I really wanted to like these, but it’s back to pads for me.

bwahahahahahaha
