First Pink Gadgets, Now Pink Shotguns?

Hunting season's coming up, and a lot of guys are getting sick and tired of looking at each other's ugly mugs, longing for a woman's touch. What better way to attract those lovely ladies to the hunting festivities than a pink shotgun? Offered for the first time this season exclusively by sporting goods and gun purveyor Gander Mountain, this 20-gauge Remington 870 Junior shotgun is offered complete with a pink Remington hat for $369.99. All that's missing is the Hello Kitty insignia.

Might be a great Christmas present for that special lady in your life, or for that unusual hunting partner with the purdy mouth, with whom you spent a little bit too much time last year. The verdict: Not likely to be any more positive to marketers than pink gadgets. The chances of this succeeding at retail? I'd gather far worse than the chances of pink gadgets. Just a hunch.

World's Largest Revolver Makes You a "Big Gun"

We've seen the world's smallest revolver already, and the Pfeifer Zeliska is the world's largest according to Guinness World Records. At over four feet in length, Zeliska copied the Remington model 1859...a bit bigger than it was produced the first time. If only Crocodile Dundee were still making movies to see it.
"Watch out, he's got a gun!"
"That ain't a gun. This is a gun."
"What are you talking about, that's just a knife! And they suck against guns!" [newlaunches]
