| 557060 | 2007-06-07 22:33:00 | Hello Kitty sexist gar-bage is seeping outta Japan and it makes a sickening statement that wimmen just aren't " . . . smart enough . . or technical enough" to understand the transient values of macho things . Evidence at hand ( . siliconvalley . com/latestheadlines/ci_6082889" target="_blank">www . siliconvalley . com): Hello Kitty! as an inducement for gurlz to buy or use a laptop-thingy all by themselves . :rolleyes: Soooooo . . the marketers make it cute and cuddly, dripping with nesting instinct and estrogen . . . (not in MY world!) . :blush: " . . . . . . . . PC users now tend to be men, but we're hoping to attract women with this product," said company spokesman Shinya Hashizume . :p The garish, over-the-top LT Hello Kitty, uses 299 Swarovski crystals to depict four hearts and the bubbly feline head wearing a pink bow and crown . . Oh . . and the case is pink . . but it DOES have (here comes the guy-talk) a Windows Vista operating system, 100 gigabyte hard disk drive and 1 gigabyte memory, and is being advertised as a laptop that's "dazzling and gorgeous like a jewelry box . " |

| 557061 | 2007-06-07 22:42:00 | And the problem is? . . . oh wait, men will have to show them how to use it to store their cooking recipes and appointments to get their hair done . Yep, it's a totally sexist remark . I have always thought that instruction manuals for home appliances (as opposed to REAL electronics) should be written like a gossip mag- then us guys would get some peace . Oh dear, another sexist remark :waughh: But seriously- I know plenty of women who own lap tops, I don't think any of them would agree to owning a pink sparkly one as it's the kiss of death in the corporate world :( |

| 557064 | 2007-06-08 06:26:00 | Oh yes we're all thick and haven't a clue when it comes to hardware and are attracted to pink. I loathe pink. I hate pink with a passion. Its why we painted the house. Some madman had painted the thing pink. Nauseating. My PC on the other hand, is black with blue LEDs. A proper colour. I'd have to charge extra to repair a pink PC. |
