1. I don't get to define what is inappropriate to another.
I think it's more sexist in a "throws like a girl" sort of way, but I can see why the addition of the pink in a negative connotation would be offensive.

6. Yeah. I would definately say sexist. Maybe I'm naive, but I've never
associated the color pink with being gay.

3. Somewhat...
I find it more sexist than homophobic. It's caricature more than commentary in either case. One doesn't need to resort to such crap to state or imply that ARod is a dipshit. I still hold that ball or no ball, Mankiewicz should have hard-tagged Rodriguez in the nose for trying such a dirty stunt.

4. I would consider it both sexist and homophobic
And unnecessary - the lameness of the slap requires no embellishment...

5. No, not to me anyway.
It is still somewhat amusing for being so old.

8. It's ok with the purse, but putting the pink there I think is inappropriate...
...maybe give him a lolly and a big ribbon in his hair...throws like a girl is thus implied, not just like a woman.

16. It's Certainly Stupid
I don't know homophobic or sexist. I suppose one could see either of those.

But, no matter what, i see stupid.
