Is Pink In For Men In 2009

Thursday morning my wife Marsha ironed me a pink shirt to wear to work. While at lunch I noticed several people looking at me funny...when I got back to WCQR, Brian Sumner started kidding me about wearing a pink shirt. Later that day, my cousin Mitchell Bouton and a friend named Tony Lopez came by to visit me at the station. Mitchell asked "Hey Mike, what's up with the pink shirt"? However, his friend Tony said there wasn't anything wrong with a guy wearing a pink shirt. So, since the ol' pink shirt generated so much conversation, I decided to do a poll on my show today. And we had a huge amount of calls. The results of the poll are posted below.

Question

Is it okay for a guy to wear a pink shirt?

98% said Yes

2% said No
