Stupid BIC-head

Some marketing drone at BIC decided it would be a good idea to sell a ballpoint pen just for women. The "selling" points:

* Medium point retractable ball pen available in black and blue ink
* Designed to fit comfortably in a womans hand
* Attractive barrel design available in pink and purple

Go to the link and read the "reviews"; there's some hysterically funny creative writing on display. Here's a sample:

"I like the retractable bit, as I can now just stare at the end of the pen and watch it appear and disappear whenever I press the clickety-click thing. It's just like magic! However do you do it you clever people?? Anyway, setting myself challenges keeps my pretty little brain honed and ready for when the big questions arise, like whether pink and purple match my skin tone, and how to co-ordinate all that with a decent pair of heels.

"However, I do have a couple of quibbles - the medium point is alarmingly unfeminine and it should really be fine point, as no one likes thick handwriting. Perhaps I should have noticed this in the product description, but my eyes must have glazed over at the words "Technical Details". The other thing is why does it come in a box of 12? 10 would be much easier to count to and keep track of!"

Beware of pissing off smart women. The resulting sarcasm will cut you off at the... um... knees.
