Top 5 most ridiculous pink gadgets, evah!!!1!!eleven!!

Now, as an avid reader of Shiny Shiny, you must agree we tend to feature quite a bit of the ol' pink gadgetry, which is all fine and dandy... Until one of these gets made. Read on for the Top 5 Most Ridiculous Pink Gadgets, EVAH!!1!! to have appeared on this blog. I recommend dousing your eyes with something strong afterwards, like petrol or maybe Drakkar Noir, that'll get rid of those ghastly images.

1.) Portable grill from Pink Princess - ok, firstly, whoever buys a coloured grill these days?! They always get hideously deformed due to the splattered oil and grease, I thought people tended towards black these days. Plus, not to sound like a traitor to sisterhood, but isn't that the man's job? They love standing around holding a beer and tongs, looking just like Homer Simpson, right? Maybe I'm hanging out with the wrong kind of men...

2.) The Little Pink Tool Kit by The Tool Kit People - When asked awhile back in a Yay or Nay Wedneday feature, most of you hated the numerous condescending pink toolkits available, citing badly made tools and little dinky sizes. However, they're still being churned out - when will these companies ever learn?

3.) Taser C2 Gun - I eyeballed this at CES, and yep, it's pink alright. Whilst I think it's actually a pretty nifty gadget (I certainly wouldn't mind carrying one in my handbag), it's a bit of an odd thing to paint pink - what next, air rifles and basketballs? Oh, dont tell me...

4.) George Foreman grill - Right, we've seen pink kitchen gadgets before, but this really takes the cake. Or, err, slab of greasy meat. Like the colour matters anyway, it's only going to be shoved behind the Crunchy Nut and jars of mustard a week after purchase, never to see the light of oily food again.

5.) The Pink Car Kit from Boystuff.co.uk - Surely the makers of this pink car kit don't believe we can change a tyre or jump-start a car ourselves? Colour me surprised if they don't think we would rather lean suggestively against our car on a lone highway, pushing the boobs out, hoping for an attractive young man to stop by to help us out? Why buy a pair of jump leads that're bound to break after the first go, when you could get something unisex and of better quality for less than half the price of this Barbie set? I find this purely insulting, Boystuff!
