Vegans can like pink

Or orange. Or yellow. Or blue 4

ad

I usually don't pay much attention to ads, but I happened to notice this banner advertising the new Dell Inspiron laptops that come in eight different colors. It's interesting that the marketing execs would think to use the concept in a national ad campaign -- that "green" is so part of the collective consciousness and the term "vegan" well enough known. Is this just another jump on the green-trend bandwagon, or a sign that green is becoming normal?

And speaking of normal, is that what a stereotypical vegan looks like? Flannel? Kerchief? Really?

    And....I was just wondering where the pink plastic resin came from for the notebook. Manufactured by GE, EXXON, Bayer? Imported from India, China? How many animals were poisoned to create the cute pink notebook? Will the vegan chick think about this as she types away, lecturing omnivores?

    Forward!
