No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think it's fair to say that most jezebel authors don't care anything about that car other than it's pink and marketed towards women, and it could be the safest, fastest, most energy efficient care ever to grace the road, and they'd still have a...hissy fit.
They generally really hate pink.

Pink is icky and girly, and they are big strong women, so anything pink (even with equal stats) seems to bother them.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It's hardly like this is the first car to be marketed towards women - remember when driver-side vanity mirrors were a big deal? And just about every kind of backseat customization you can think of (DVD player, AV inuputs, extra cup holders) is there to make it easier to drive around with kids, which is OBVIOUSLY a Mom thing!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It looks to me that the Japanese auto industry is resorting to the same kind of cheap marketing gimmicks that the American auto industry did, right before they were eclipsed by the Japanese.

What %age of men is the VW Bug bud vase targeted at? And is that the same 10% Kinsey demarcated?
