    The pen nobody will qive you -for Christmas
This has to be the
unqainliQ&t pen to qet ofF the
drawinq board in years
And We want you to knew
it uasrit easy
Our Parker designers are
still in shock.
'Pens are supposed to
shine a lot, they said. And be
silvery Orqold. And be slim.
But that just it We cried
Isn't it time trie vJorld had a
pen that ooks like ife not
supposed to?
Like why cant a pen be a
nice funky red? So you can
see it for miles on a clear
day And can't lose it even
if you uantto.
And why cant it be
reassuringly thick? Everyone
needs somethinq to clinq to,
with the World the way it is.
lAJhy can't it come with a
business-like clip? To damp en
v
your boot Or on your headband.
And why not a biq soft tip?
To write it like it is. One that
won't op fuz2y. There's enouqh
fuzzy thinkinq around!
We know you'll make it .
reflllable, we inserted. (Parker
always does) The scene is
littered enouqh without more
throwaway pens.
Well, in the face of sheer
loqic, what else could they do?
Ourdesiqners qave us
Biq Red. Uqly but beautiful
Bifl Red. 5.
Even if nobody at home will
Qe you Biq Red, there's no law
that says you can't q& one
to a friend.
Ety Bod for Men writes black Refills with
4 colors. In stores campus -wide Also down
town, five bucks. ThereS a Btq Red for Women,
too. Don't you know somebody worth it "t
