My DIL put this on her FB yesterday pointing out how sexist it is. Personally I'm aghast that this got approved through marketing. What was the company thinking!? No wonder our teenage girls are so image conscious. It starts from the age of 2.

I saw that on Twitter yesterday, and could hardly believe it. All that gaff about 'pretty little heads' (or something similar) grin Perhaps they know their market. hmm

I'm some little girls would choose the blue one. They can't all like pink, can they? grin

I think GN's own Cari might have a comment to make on this! (Going by her Twitter account) grin

And Halfords are getting all this free publicity!

I thought it was a spoof when I first saw it.

It's the same helmet just painted different colours yet described in such different ways.

If that is the only thing I, and many many others, had to stress/worry/ complain about we would be happy bunnies. Just ignore the damn thing.
