A dye to restore the youthful pink colour back to your labia January 7, 2010

I am not making this up. Look what I found (via Dangerous Minds)!

It’s called My new pink button and it’s described as

a simple to use Genital Cosmetic Colorant that restores the “Pink” back to a Women’s Genitals

I have no idea why they put “Pink” between quotation marks, although there is a choice of four different colours (Marilyn, Betty, Ginger and Audrey) that are not all exactly pink…
Not sure if this tops the vagina mints, but it’s a close runner up, surely?

Finally, a car park for women. January 7, 2010

With pink! And wider spaces! Language Log writes:

The BBC reports that “Official Wang Zheng told AFP news agency the car park was meant to cater to women’s ‘strong sense of colour and different sense of distance’”, where presumably “different sense of distance” is code for the Chinese version of the “woman driver” stereotype. So it’s only fair to counter with an American woman’s joke, which asks “Why can’t men parallel park?”, and answers, holding up a thumb and forefinger about four inches apart, “because they think that this is eight inches”.

Thanks CH, Clare and Jender-Parents!
