"I am a strong, powerful woman, therefore only pink, cutesy stuff will do. Also, Hunger Games."

there is a secet message decoder that totally looks like a tampon applicator

Pink can't be a power color! It's too girly!


SteamPoweredKleenex - 2015-03-15

EH, it's marketed that way. I say handle colors like "Borderlands": Slap a ton of colors on the same thing and if you like it, awesome.

It doesn't help that the preload image looks like she's firing a sex toy.

And funny enough, pink used to be associated with boys (blood, manly-manness) and blue with girls (virginal, Mary, etc.).

Unless you're in the Hart family. Pink is badass when Harts are involved.


EvilHomer - 2015-03-16

Marketed in what way? It's acknowledging that women can be strong and fierce and also that they like pink. The only way that would be a problem is if we assume that pink, as a "girly" color, cannot also be powerful - that is, the feminine is weak, the masculine is strong, so therefore the only way to empower young girls, is by making them masculine.

Let me ask you this. What if I made a kids' toy: I call it, the Bro-ve. It's a toy stove, only it's blue and black and it's got badass fighter jets and lightning bolts drawn all over it. How would we react to this toy?

However, anything "Borderlands" is OK in my books, too.

Who doesn't like being pandered to?

When the Labour Party tried this with vans people complained.


EvilHomer - 2015-03-15

People are complaining about this, too.


Caminante Nocturno - 2015-03-15

In both cases it's dumb people.

If it's anything like with shaving razors, they'll charge more than double the regular price for these too.

Also, seriously, more bows? That's no way to win the arms race of the sexes! Get those girls a sparkly pink thirty-dart gatling gun for fuck's sake.


oddeye - 2015-03-15

Dude, amazons used to cut antit off to fire bows, I read it in an ancient text.

But if a little boy wants it it's progressive.

In all honesty, the newest products for the Rebelle line are pretty cool.. They have a makeup case that unfolds and transforms into a rifle. It is call the Nerf Rebelle Secrets & Spies Secret Shot.


Ugh - 2015-03-15

not sure how it could be done, but now i'm waiting for someone to splice this with the oozinator commercial


Caminante Nocturno - 2015-03-16

Rebelle?? Not only are they feminine, but they're French!


Nominal - 2015-03-16

Use your pink nerf gun to shoot a target, once.

THEN just sit back and passively bask in the attention as two men and two political factions fight over you! Just like your hero Katniss!


TeenerTot - 2015-03-16

Oh for fuck's sake.


chumbucket - 2015-03-16

They had me at "Heartbreaker Bow"


Jet Bin Fever - 2015-03-16

I hope Nerf gets a swift kick in the pants for this one.
