Papers mindlessly reprint Press releases - shocker
Daily mail:
The power of pink: Men who wear shirts of that colour earn £1,000 a year more than those who don’t
Daily Express:
WHY FUTURE IS BRIGHT FOR MEN IN PINK
No doubt there will be other papers covering the same reports findings.
Now why do I have a sneaking suspicion someone in some company somewhere* has an overstock of pink shirts they need to offload? Oh yes... that'll be because I've read 'Propaganda' by Edward Bernays where's there's a whole chapter on who he made velvet a popular fashion choice.
