But it's PINK!
It's called the Noble Pink, and Nintendo will be unleashing it upon an unsuspecting (and overwhelmingly girly) population come 20 July 2006. We're not entirely convinced that pink is indeed a noble color, but we've heard that it sits well with royalty. Queens totally dig it.
Clarification: We jest. Being in possession of a pink, electronic handheld device does not indicate anything with regards to sexual orientation or manly vigor.
Capitulation: That was the final heavy-handed joke in this post.

You don't have to be gay to have a pink DS, but it helps ^_^. I get this all the time:
Why do you have the pink one?
It was a gift. My brother ordered it from Japan.
Does he hate you?
I asked for it.
I can't see giving it up for anything that wasn't as pink, if not pinker. Yay pink DS Lite! It indeed does take a "noble" man to stand up to the criticism and stares.

I've got a pink iPod Mini, and I don't think anything of it. Pinks just a colour (that looks like strawberry milk!) and I'm comfortable enough in my sexuality to appreciate that colour.

Dammit, just yesterday I told my sister I'd buy her a DS Lite if they came out in pink, at the same time praying that they wouldn't.

Finally the girls in my school can ditch the PSP and get this.

I usually really like the blog. Please don't suddenly go all Adult Swim and get homophobic and mean-spirited.

I'm a huge fag and own nothing pink. I like white...I like my white DS Lite since it matches my white MacBook. Fags love coordinating colors.
