'Jaynestown'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
!!!!!!
Well!
I hate them!
Pink is icky and girly, and they are big strong women, so anything pink (even with equal stats) seems to bother them.
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!
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?
(I have decided that Wordnik is now my default dictionary, and have set up an Opera search shortcut to that effect. I hope the minuscule bump in traffic is more than just a drop in the bucket. Everyone should do so.)
I am sorry about the Jessie's Girl- it was probably horrific in, say middle school!
No worries! It was just right when it came out that I was so mortified.
Well, Yuletide assignments are imminent, so I think it's likely that she's One of Us.
A-ha! Too bad I'm not fannish enough to be able to engage with her on it, anyway.
Was there a new episode of Scandal or Grey's Anatomy last night? My dvr didn't record either of them.
No, I think it was the CMAs or something instead.
I want the pink smart car. It is so cute!
No, I think it was the CMAs or something instead.
Ah, that's right. Thanks, Jesse!
sj, the CMAs were on, no ABC regular programming last night.
tommyrot, your link next to the parenthetical about rare convertibles goes to bikes (which are not pink, so I strongly suspect they were not what you meant to link to)
