color-coded demographics
I recently came into possession of one of these black 30GB video ipods. I explained to my daughter that we can watch TV shows on it. She got very excited and asked if it had 'girl's shows' on it."Sadly no," I said. "Those are on the pink ones."

Now you've done it. This is the sort of factoid that will burrow deep into her subconsciousness, and 20 years later, when she sees a pink holographic projector while she's out shopping with all her friends, she will blurt out, Oh! I'll bet that one projects girls' shows on it!!
I love it! Good to see you've resurrected the Glump, too. I've always like that little guy. :-)
I just bought one of those, or rather Creative's version of basically the same thing.
My goal was to replace our cd changer in the living room, since we have run out of room, and it is nicer to not change cds manually.
As to the colors: a friend who grew up in the Philippines said it took him a while to get used to the American blue/pink distinction for babies. In the Philippines, the colors are reversed.
Also, someone asked the other day whether Noah (14 months) was a boy or girl, she was guessing that he was a girl. Heather said a boy, and the lady said, "Well, it is hard to tell since he is wearing yellow". I understand that it can be hard to tell what gender a baby is, but it doesn't seem like kids should always be dressed in the "appropriate" color 24x7 in order to resolve that confusion.
I confess I didn't actually vocalize that response. Maybe I should make a category of posts: "Answers I'd Like to Give."
