Good. And while we're on this subject, I'm personally offended by that new Old Spice "I'm a Man" commercial. It makes it seem like all men just sit in armchairs that go flying through the air and crashing through walls, grinning the whole time like sadists who enjoy pain. And then at the end when it seems like he turns into a woman, it's really sexist for him to suddenly be all like, "just kidding, I'm still a man." What message is that communicating, huh? That it would be so bad if he turned into a woman? That somehow turning into a woman makes him less of a man? How the fark am I supposed to raise well-adjusted children in a world besotted with such constant gender slurs?

An outrage indeed. My mom is quite satisfied with a linear clothesline. You don't need high tech to be a real woman.

Margaret Green, from women's equality group WAITS, told The Daily Telegraph that the brochure's advert was an "insult". She said: "I feel for any man that follows the brochure's advice because I don't think a clothesline is going to make anyone feel special.


Oh I don't know about that. I mean if he ties you up with it, applies the cloths pins to your tits, nipples and clit, and beats you until you orgasim I think you would feel special then.

Personally I don't like all the jewelry commercials over the holidays that make women seem like these shallow vain people that only care about what they look like and that they to have these shallow over priced adornments to display status to their friends....because ummm women like totally aren't like that and stuff

The jewelry commercials piss me off...I always ask the women "Did the kid's arm come with the diamond?" when they show me their "rock." Shallow, high-maintenance bimbos make us look bad.

And, hey, if she needs the rotary clothesline, get it for her. If she can't appreciate something practical, she's not right for you!

/asked for a hex wrench set for Christmas...here's hoping!

Are they still reeling that commercial where a new car is waiting on the driveway with a big red bow on it? That one always pissed me off.

The thought of the face of the pour soul who purchases a clothesline for his wife for Christmas will have me giggling all day.

As this is blocked at work I am just going to believe that "rotary clothesline" is a new sex position.

They don't make gimp suits like they used to.

Well then maybe they should stop advertising powertools for guys. I can't tell you how many years in a row I have received the same shiatty set of heads for my drill. The exact same set. Mom also got me the same set of Technic Legos four years in a row. Now THAT is offensive! People don't even give enough of a shiat about the gift that they give it to you over and over again. I'm also quite sure my Dad appreciated his Coors Light "Beer Wolf" hat with wolf ears that he never wore. Point of argument: You give us tools like it is something awesome girls. Sometimes it is, but would you like to receive the SAME slotted serving spoon every year?
I guess I should be happy I got presents at all. With my wife, I usually ask myself what she originally went to Target for (gel ink pens) and how much time over two minutes she spent on picking it out. Most years I'd rather take the gift card and get my nerd-boy stuff. I'm one of those thought that counts people, but if you aren't thinking then don't bother- it is better for everyone that way.

/Me bitter? Nevah!

Did she burn your dinner? Help her feel better. Buy a clothesline.

The commercial is just dumbass because giving somebody--or either sex-- a work implement does NOT make them feel special. Can you imagine giving a guy work gloves or a wrench set to make them feel special?

I really hate the pre-owned BMW commercial where the dumbass wife doesn't even know she is driving a used car.

Ever since I was about 8 or 9, my parents gave me some sort of tool for Christmas. Yes, I got a wrench set. I also got a power drill, a workbench, hammers, screwdrivers, socket sets, etc. By the time I was an adult, I had a pretty good collection. And it makes me feel very special that they looked out for me and planned for my future, rather than giving me whatever crap I thought was important that year. I've used every tool they've given me, and I'm hoping for more tools this year.

Yes, god forbid someone get me something I use and like.

I hate the jewelry commercials more, personally. We only love you if you buy us something completely superficial and expensive, right?

Blah. If you're going to buy something worth a few hundred bucks, I'd like me some pretty electronics instead. Nice... gaming laptop... ooh. Nom nom nom.

That's why, and write this down ladies, for Christmas this year, considering giving head.

Why would a man pick a present out for his wife? This seems fraught with disaster, no matter what the gift is. You take your wife shopping and pay up for what she chooses.

/it's like asking a fat lady if she's pregnant

mortimer_ford: Are they still reeling that commercial where a new car is waiting on the driveway with a big red bow on it? That one always pissed me off.

Dunno, but my wife was pretty pissed off after she asked me for "something that goes from 0 to 200 in 10 seconds" and I gave her a bathroom scale.

 
Ball of Confusion 2009-11-30 09:42:12 AM  
the problem is that she'd try and surprise me and get the exact wrong wrench set.

/this is why we circle the things we want in the wishbook aka pegaus auto racing catalog

I would love to get a nice new compressor for Christmas. And a pneumatic nailgun.

You just get her a gift you think she will like, and a dildo. If she doesn't like what you got her, she can go f*ck herself.
