For years blondes have borne the brunt of jokes about a vast array of perceived flaws. But now help is at hand for those blondes who are troubled by ordinary computer keyboards.

Russian computer accessories manufacturer Oldi has released a pink keyboard. An invention that started as an internet joke, may become a multi-million selling phenomenon among those who adore partying, everything pink, Paris Hilton, and small dogs.

Specifically designed for blondes, each key on this board has easy explanations of what it does. The space bar is labelled “The longest key“, Enter reads ”The Biggest“, more complex keyes are the ”Not needed“ ones, while the escape key just says ”No!”

One blond in action

But not everybody shares the joy. Maria Arbatova, a celebrated Russian feminist writer, is sure that blonde people should sue the makers. “What’s next? A keyboard for Jews? A keyboard for Blacks? A keyboard for deaf-mutes?” – she asks.

Evgeny Polyakov, Oldi marketing manager, cllaims that brunettes and redheads have asked for keyboards developed specially for them. He hopes nobody gets offended

After all, the keyboard's restricted functionality means it is unlikely to be more than a novelty gift.
