A Gift for the Man Who Has Everything...Pink?
Found this fashion statement in a shoe store the other night. It's actually even a more intense pink than it looks. They said they couldn't keep the shoe in stock, it was a real hot seller.

The poll finds people want to replace most of them — especially lust, though most are OK with greed being listed. The top replacement suggestions: adultery, bigotry, cruelty, dishonesty, hypocrisy, and selfishness. (London Times) ...Damn them, they forgot stupidity again!
