Pink Prams?????

I don't get pink prams, aside from the fact they're usually a rather gaudy shade of pink, I don't get the attraction! Pink is one of my favourite colours but I have to say that I would never ever buy a pink pram. Firstly, I wouldn't subject my husband to pushing around a pink pram. Secondly, I see prams as an investment, why waste money on something that I would want to use again and I can't guarantee that my next pregnancy will result in a girl. Thirdly, what if the ultrasound was wrong and I have a boy instead?

From observation there are 2 types of people that buy pink prams:
1) The pretentious wannabe that wants to show the world that they have money to throw away.
2) The single mum who's just a bit too trashy for her own good.

I'm not trying to be judgemental, it's just an observation. I'm only trying to figure out when a pram became a status symbol. It's a pram not a car.
