It's pink...and it's taking over the world...


So a few days ago I wrote about Pink Soup.  Just this morning I get a giant postcard at work from Quill, the super-cheap office supply place.  Hey, it's pink time at Quill.  Pink everything.  How about a breast cancer awareness Liquid Paper correction pen?  Just think, every time you blot out a typo you'll be reminded to do your BSE.

You can get "YOUR COMPANY NAME HERE" mugs with pink ribbons.  If Hooters had a sense of humor...which they don't...they'd get a case or two for each location and do a little P.R.

As I said before, I am as concerned about breast cancer as a person without breasts can be, so don't get me wrong.  I hate breast cancer.  But I also hate marketing departments who think pink ribbons can sell office supplies.

Stop the madness,

This is almost as asinine as Sarah Palin. Almost.

Ditto to MK. This crap gets my implants in a tither. But thanks for educating us on all the insane abuse of using BC as a means to make money.
Re: the cane canoe seats-I bet you're going to love them! I used to have some on an old Dagger Legend of mine...
They look good on the Wenonah!

We don't want no tithering implants, binner. Write a letter to Quill telling them you're offended. They'll send you a nice letter back with an apology, plus a piece of the free luggage they send to us when we spend more than $150 on an order, which you can sell at a garage sale for at least five bucks. Screw the man! Power to the people!

Legend...nice boat. It has been resurrected by Mad River and we're carrying them next year.

Binner likes to work out so hard in the boat that she'll occasionally "pop" an implant. Gross but equally hilarious.

Binner said...

Okay MK, now you have poor DB thinking I"m leaking all over the boat...!?
Canoelover,
It's not like I'm constantly "popping them, popping them"-but I can "pop" my pecs ;-) It's pretty cool, next time I"m in Mad city with MK for Canoecopia-I'll show ya!ha
