Did you happen to catch Dr. Phil today? He featured a new diet and exercise program called the "P.I.N.K Method" for the full hour.
It seems that the whole thing can be summed up as P90X for women...because women all like the color pink, especially on sets that look like back alleys or the set of a porn shot in an industrial park. The barbie pink bubble letters in a street art style make me feel right at home.
So their whole marketing gimmick is a copy of another one...but the color pink adds that touch of femininity that makes women feel like, "Heck yeah - I'll be wearing bedazzled rhinestone pink g-strings that show over my skinny jeans in no time!"
Okay, so maybe I'm being harsh. If it helps people feel confident and get healthy, what's the harm?
I have done a little research about it - here's what P.I.N.K. stands for:
P - Power
I - Intensity
N - Nutrition
K - Kardio?...Cardio.
I really hate that when people do that with Cs and Ks...but whatever...if I start complaining about that, I'll be that much closer to turning into Andy Rooney. I better choose my battles wisely. Afterall, maybe they were just simply trying to make people feel more comfortable. Since they are all fit, thin, and the type of women other women are 'supposed to hate', they have to show some flaws in order to make others feel comfortable. What better way than bad spelling showing a sign of poor intellect? Genius, laddys, simply genis!
Here's a clip from YouTube about the P.I.N.K. Method:
The kit is $67.99 if you pay in one payment (saving 15%), or two payments of $39.99.
The biggest red flag that came up during the Dr. Phil Show was that the creator, Cynthia Pasquella, made the claim that it will get rid of cellulite completely. She said it did for her. Don't you dare tease me, Cynthia. There is no cure for cellulite - you can minimize the appearance of it, but to say that it gets rid of it completely is a red flag statement.
So, maybe this will be a big hit, or maybe it will be a quick-to-go fad in the market of weight loss products and systems. There's going to be people who have great success with it, and there are going to be people who do not. Anything that helps one get exercising is a good thing, I'm not going to rain on anyone's parade if they try this out. If it works, it works, and that's great!
However, I'm never going to love the color pink being shoved down my throat due to gender norms, and I probably will never feel comfortable in an environment that reminds me of a cheap porn set.
