I think the pink'n'ponies scheme has already been patented somewhere, so even the GPL can't save us this time.

What new look?
I've noticed that there hasn't been any dupes today, keep up the good work Slashdot Editors!
Democrats or Republicans. They are both taking us to the same place and they are not afraid of us anymore.
Besides the pink theme, how come there isn't anything out of the ordinary with slashdot today?

Thanks CC, now I can at least see what lkml looked like right after the mysql server burst in flames.

There we go!
Oh come on. If he actually meant to be sexist, that's one thing, but this can also very easily be a pun on the stereotypical way a large number of teenage girls actually act. Just because of this it doesn't mean he's automatically insulting all members of the female gender. If you are so arrogant to think that every event like this is an attack directly on your gender, then you need to grow up and learn to think critically. Even if he meant this event to be sexist, which I really doubt, then would he even do it on such a large scale? Do you honestly give the mods such little credit in the common sense department? Come on now.
As far as stereotypes go, this is a very real one, I have a teenage sister and friends that follow many parts of this stereotype. You should be less worried about overreacting because you didn't actually read between the lines, and more worried about what society has done to your gender and what a majority of teenage girls of this age have become.
As far as funny goes, this was meant as a joke. If he were to theme it after all of the stereotypes surrounding what "real man" is for example. There would be people for an against that as well, but that doesn't change the fact that it was done in jest. He wasn't trying to insult a gender. He was merely poking fun at a popular stereotype. If you're incapable of thinking for yourself and need to follow these stereotypes for acceptance, then that's your problem, not ours.
My gender has plenty of these stereotypes as well, but we'll leave that for when someone posts disapprovingly after the mods decide to theme slashdot after macho men, football players, etc, etc.
I'm not trying to say you follow any of these at all, merely giving you plenty of what if questions as food for though. I appologize if you take any of this negatively, but I aim to inform, not to insult.
Anyway, happy "april first", As in "april fools day".
I, for one, being easily offended, am offended by your accusations against the easily offended.
