Ouija for girls. In pink, naturally.

Found via the Onion, and yes, it's for real. I couldn't skewer this any better than they did, so go read their article.

I'm less offended by the pink color than I am by the sample questions. o.O

Well, I know this doesn't really make it any better, but I'm sure this was purely a marketing decision. Pink stuff sells well - going by the number of pink items I see just in the grocery store, it sells really well. And I can't imagine that Ouija boards are really that hot an item nowadays.

And now I have a new euphemism for that time of the month - "a ghost punched me in the fallopian tubes." BWAH!

Otherwise, I'm with you - and the Onion. Pink? Suggested questions included? "Who wishes they could trade places with me?" WTFityF?!

Wow, I never noticed how... vaginal... the planchette is until I saw it in all it's hole-y pink goodness.

Another thing to hate

Dell has a special web presence for women, called Della. No, really.

It's not just Ouija. At Toys R Us I saw pink versions of Monopoly (one of the playing pieces was a cell phone; another, a purse), Life, Memory, and fucking TINKERTOYS.

Who cares how many suggested questions there are? The answer is programmed into the planchett.
