Girl Gear: pink gaming accessories

Okay, I’m speechless. I saw this article from Kotaku and it seems it’s not a joke article.  Somebody get the marketing guy who thought of this stuff off the drugs.  I don’t know a single gaming girl that would buy any of that stuff.

So I did a bit of research to see if this was a real company, and came up with some interesting results. Girlgear.com is just being camped; one of those web sites that have links to what you were trying to find, but isn’t really a site in of itself.  Girl-gear.com (note the hyphen) is one of those NFSW sites. Their “gear” runs more into the S&M type variety. The first site that came up after googling ‘Girl Gear’ was this site: Pink Tool Belts. Pink Tool Belts actually does produce pink accessories, but not for games (at least I didn’t find anything on the site). It also publicizes itself as being part of GirlGear Industries, so perhaps we have our culprit.
