Just for the Ladies- Pink Schedule, Calories Calculator, Bio Rhythm, Fatness Indicator

Wow, that's only mildly offensive.

Please Lord, just give me one product directed at me that doesn't patronize and offend me every step of the way.

[prettygolucky.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was thinking the exact same thing.

[alitaorg.livejournal.com]

"fatness calculator"?

why would i want to calculate my "fatness"?

[dorothymonkey.livejournal.com]

So that you can compare with your friends, of course! It's the next big trading game; it's pokemon for women!

[fallenkalina.livejournal.com]

While the fatness calculator is....offensive to say the least, the Pink Schedule would be very interestest on a cellphone.

[anachronista.livejournal.com]

You can actually download that for your cell phone. I think if you google cell phone programs, it should come up.

[brn-eyd-grl.livejournal.com]

The period thing is kinda cool...though, personally, mine has never been "pink". Ugh, they could have come up with a different name for it.

[il-pleut.livejournal.com]

whoa O.O

[six58.livejournal.com]

fatness calculator isnt even the correct term.
if they had said 'body mass index calculator' they would have looked 1) more intelligent and 2) less offensive.

they had a fitness/health theme in mind, it just...came out wrong.

is this a joke?

[clerk.livejournal.com]

that's what i was thinking.

please tell me this is a joke.

[anwyn18.livejournal.com]

I know *I* lodged my strongly worded complaint.

[sheisaeval.livejournal.com]

fatness calculator, hahahahaha

[mangofandango.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking a lot of that is um, seriously lost in translation. "Glow in your hands like a precious gem"? Better yet, "thin, slight thin, slight fat, fat"!? Tee hee.

But yeah, also, ew.

[fructiferous.livejournal.com]

ditto.

[starsorstreet.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you added the sarcasm bit. I thought you were serious and I got scared.

[pretzelsalt.livejournal.com]

me 2

[barbituratecat.livejournal.com]

That's frightening and offensive at the same time. Oh my god, fatness calculator! Because us womens have nothing to do all day but gab on our flashy, gem-like cellphones and calculate our "fatness".

That entire thing is horrible.

[anachronista.livejournal.com]

oh my god!

i must have that phone. i need the precious gem. i have to preserve my aristocratic dignity before it's too late!

[jenbys.livejournal.com]

That actually made me laugh out loud, thank you :o)

[altheia.livejournal.com]

Fatness Calculator??
*rages*

[pirate-poet.livejournal.com]

What a fucking stupid phone.

Yes, let's reinforce sexist stereotypes while seemingly "pleasing" ladies AND encourage a culture of unhealthy "fat" obsession!

:rolls eyes:

[leave-it-be.livejournal.com]

i'd think having a fatness calculator takes away more of my aristocratic dignity than the phone can provide me with.

i'd like to personally thank Samsung for letting me know i shouldn't purchase any of their products. why don't they just cover the outside with with cotton and we can use it as Cooch Plug while calculating our fatness and whatnot.

bastards.

[leave-it-be.livejournal.com]

ooh and maybe it'll come with an extra strong vibrator function so while we're using it as a tampon, it can also help us achieve new sexual peaks of pleasure!

[gothictiger.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I left them feedback about them needing to do market research on real women and told them to stop aiding in society's attempt to squash self esteem with "fatness indicators".

[dial-zero.livejournal.com]

If it were TRULY a phone for women, it would have a strong VIBRATION mode... and appropriate attachments!

[rednerds.livejournal.com]

lol that is exactly what I was thinking!

[10littlebullets.livejournal.com]

Calculate the amount of calories burnt for doing daily work like cooking, shopping as well as sports activities like jogging, aerobics and dancing, and manage your fitness every day.

*boggle* There are... no words.

[lauramcewan.livejournal.com]

gold rose? It looks like a huge animal pawprint to me.

fatness calculator? gee, thanks.

[deathofthelight.livejournal.com]

This isn't even offensive. It's so over-the-top that it's past offensive and just mind-boggling... I mean, who authorized this? There's got to be someone who approves these sort of things.

It's like living satire.

[audio-slave.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly.

[harpseal.livejournal.com]

how come women need to monitor our moods where men don't?

I wonder how many women will believe their cell phones and have sex and then cry to samsung that they told them it was ok.

just mind numbing....

[iori-baine.livejournal.com]

I agree. It's something both sexes need. Trust me, I've had my genius and moron moments. That period thing helps too.

[fooltothink.livejournal.com]

Wow. There arent even words to explain what I wanna say. How ridiculous is that? Now what if your period isnt regular? What if someone trusts that thing and gets pregnant or something? And a fat calculator? Because as a society we dont have enough pressure to be 5'10 and 115 pounds.

Thats so irritating.

[demented-pants.livejournal.com]

Hahaha.

I'm almost tempted to buy one just to be like "Wanna bet? The phone says I'm fat!" whenever someone's like "Oh, honey, you're NOT fat."

[nitedula.livejournal.com]

It's the Malaysian site; the Australian site (http://www.samsung.com.au/mobile/ - click on the T500) calls it a body mass index calculator. Somehow I think the Malaysian site is a bit more honest...
