Elvis had a pink Cadillac...

There's the indirect observation you may have made, that Mary Kay
Cosmetics would issue top sales folk with pink Cadillacs.  Of course,
there's a world of difference between:
a) A rather expensive automobile, in somewhat garish colour, issued to
prominent, accomplished people.  (That you and I don't care to buy
cosmetics from them doesn't contradict that, in their own arena of
endeavour, they're prominent and accomplished.)
b) A $12 keyboard, that mostly demonstrates an interest in "tack."

The only reason I imagine Tech Direct has them is that they could get
them super-cheap from some supplier that discovered that they don't
sell well.

On the other hand, there's the "Hello, Kitty" AK47 :-).
