Colours

With the barrage of television advertising promoting the fact that the wrappers of a certain brand of feminine hygiene product are now coloured I'm left wondering if the idea is to encourage women to colour coordinate their tampons with their clothes. Or is a mood thing? I'm feeling blue today so I'll choose yellow because they go so well together. The problem with this sort of advertising is that it works. Give an insecure fifteen year old a chance of herd-oriented individuality and she'll jump at it. I'm also left wondering how long before I hear about a group of teens murdering one of their cohorts because she wasn't wearing the right colour. Gives a whole new meaning to a crips and bloods gang war.
