Stupid, stupid, stupid. Let's make sure we propagate stereotypes about women, and how they are not to be taken seriously.

Look at me! I've got a hello kitty laptop! Aren't I cute?
Can you imagine someone taking this to a board meeting? Or to class where it is sure to be a distraction?

See, a toaster I can believe. A book cover I can believe. But an expensive piece of equipment that is supposed to be used to perform "work?" This reminds me of the nascar laptop. Sorry for the Walmart link, but it was the first one to come up...

based on the price of the Kitty glittering book , is not worth it ! Somemore the laptop looks bulky i don't think women will like it.
