Just had to share... I thought this was too funny, this popped up on my "Today" screen on MSN.com

"OMG! It's a keyboard for blondes!"
Blondes have suffered decades of ridicule, but it's time they embrace the jokes. When it comes to a hot-pink boost of self-confidence (or at least a few good laughs), the Keyboard for Blondes may do the trick.
The all-pink keyboard swaps out standard keys with funnier, dumber key names. The backspace key now says "Oops!" and the entire row of function keys spells out USELESS KEYS. Hit the "$" sign and you get the sound of a cash register clinking.
Blondes can even get a little technical and use special keys that type out "OMG," "ALI" (Absolutely Love It!) or "XOXO." My favorite? The caps lock key now says: "Warning! size XXL letters."
Though this fully functional keyboard would be a great gift to poke some fun at your fair-haired friends, regular computer users may find it a bit challenging. However, like the completely blank Das Keyboard, the Keyboard for Blondes might help poor typists improve their skills, since the keys are 1) a distracting pink, and 2) no longer have the standard labels.
According to its manufacturer, European Trends, the keyboard has already been released in the U.K. to some success, and at $49.95 probably only a true blonde would purchase this novelty item. It's compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux. I know what Paris Hilton will be getting for Christmas.
I'd want one... but wouldn't waste the fifty bucks on it!

I like the fact that it's pink but not too keen on the "for blondes" thing.
Yeah... it's actually really cute when you look at all the buttons up close (I was looking at it on the site), I still wouldnt pay 50 dollars for it though.
But you're right, "girly" keyboard or something like that would have been a little more PC.
LOL...what will they think of next?
It's cute, but no way I'd drop that kind of change for it.
XOXO
I'm guessing the one for guys comes with a big hammer and hot-key for porn sites?
Yay, i saw the keyboard too :) Really funny and just a bit cute too. I think the flowers are peonies, but i'm not sure, i rescued them from my garden. The flowers were too heavy for the stalks and so were just lying on the round being walked all over :(
This is going on my wish list! LOL LOL
