And follow it up with the new pink kitten grinder 2000, of which 10% of the proceeds go to the Susan G. Komen fund …
I know they are doing good work, but do they really need to be helping to sell overpriced mice?
This is one of those things that shows that having a good attention span is not required of any one working in corporate America. It seems like a good community minded idea for about idea for about 18 one hundredths of a second before questions start occurring like:
” Really, pink mice for women?”
“Do we really want to let the marketing guys get their hands on this?”
“Boy do I hope that that’s a scroll wheel on it!”
And,
“Is it a better ‘support cancer research’ message to have it work singly or in pairs?”
Well, it’s better than that nuvaring birth control commercial anyway.
