Anyways I don't know that pink earplugs are really such a big deal,
I mean as long as they don't cost any extra...I don't really see the problem.
Also, I wouldn't really call earplugs that are disposable and rest mostly in your ear to be part of fashion.
As for the dog-tag thing, yes personally I think that's just as stupid as people wearing
army like (or army style twisted) camouflage pants, jackets just to look cool.
