Color is still an issue

Color can be fun and sometimes even funny. This “interview,” posted on the Popular World News blog, pokes fun at orange. Personally, I think orange shouldn’t be feeling so sorry for itself. Orange, did you forget how much Apple loves you or that AT&T kept orange even when they booted Cingular? What about Renault? They proudly unveiled Orange at this year’s Geneva auto show. Come on, Orange! I think you need to get over your inferiority complex.

In a revealing interview with Anderson Cooper this past Thursday, the color Orange sought out to “cleanse the palette” on today’s issues involving color. The underlying purpose of this interview was to raise awareness of a new bill that is in the works; that proposes to add the color Orange to the Equal Opportunity roster.

“For too long, I have been discriminated against, unjustly represented and have not been given the same amount of opportunities that other colors have,” stated Orange. “I like trees, I voted for Gore, I want to put a stop to Global Warming, but Corporate America has made it clear that only the color Green can be used in these efforts.

I want to save the children of Africa from dying of hunger and AIDS, I used to listen to U2, but I am not Red, and that part of society does not accept me.”

Aside from the more recent examples, Orange described issues that have stemmed over the past few hundred years. “Blue for instance, there are over 20 variations of blue…Baby Blue, Sky Blue, Navy Blue, Midnight Blue, Powder Blue, Light Blue, and Dark Blue. I have zero variations…I am Orange. There is no Dark Orange and do you know what Light Orange is?… Yellow. I understand that I am not what you would consider a primary color, but Green has over 30 variations: Pine, Emerald, Grass, Bright, Dark, Forest…let me tell you a little secret about Green… it wouldn’t even be a color if it weren’t for Yellow and Blue.”
