In keeping with tonight’s pending festivities, a rehash of an older post.
Who needs ‘My Little Pony’ when your little one can have her very own pink-themed Ouija Board?
In 2008 Parker Brothers and Hasbro teamed up to release the all pink version of the classic parlour game ‘Ouija’ aimed at girls, ages 8 and up.
The game sold at Toys r Us and featured the following tagline:
It has always been mysterious. It has always been mystifying. And now the OUIJA Board is just for you, girl. The board comes with 72 “fun questions” to ask, including: “Who will call/text me next? Will I be a famous actor someday? Who wishes they could trade places with me? Who is Beelzebub and why is he here?”
Okay, I added the last line, but you get the picture.
The idea came to me after discovering my old Parker Brothers Ouija Board game (not pink) while searching for my long lost shaker of salt

I doubt object to the board or the concept (I can’t really believe it will really call in evil), but PINK?! Seriously, Parker Bros?! How much gender-stereotyping do we want in our kid’s lives?
I vote for NONE! Maybe a bit of glitter or bedazzling might make it into my shopping cart, but NEVER a pink version of any toy targeting girls.

I guess they missed the boat on just about every conceivable angle with this one. Not every one can be a hit! Cheers for the comment Madelyn!
