showing question #4

question from Rev. Donnie Tucker

Pink is better than purple, don’t you agree? Purple just reminds me too much of Barney. Though Tinky Winky has curbed my fear of puple some, there is no doubt pink is better.

Tell me, is this called “ask Rev. Donnie Tucker”? Is it? No. And do you want to know why? Because my opinions are simply more important. So next time, keep that in mind before asking questions, and then actually putting your point of view across. Good, now that the matter of who is actually being asked is dealt with, I will continue. The colour pink has long been recognised as a violent, masculine force. Young girls are surrounded by the colour when their parents really wanted a boy, and attempt to guide their offspring into a male dominated industry, like thatchery. American soldiers fighting in Vietnam were surrounded by pink to turn them from peaceful individuals into napalm excreting war pigs. After their return, large amounts of research was done to counteract the vile pink effects, and it was proven that purple was the perfect antidote. Strangely, this facet of the unsuccessful military endeavour was left out of the mediocre Tom Hanks film “Forest Gump.”

This question was asked on 1 May 1999 and answered at an unknown time.
