Bwhahahahahaha! "It's happened more times than I can count...maybe...7 times." "He has fought wars, conquered the seas, and taught squirrels how to water ski."

So. Fabulous.

All records of the mission were erased, and the crew were asked to keep their whiny, crampy mouths shut, or else.

The fear of being classified as "feminine," "effete," "fey" or "liberal" can also prevent men from seeking the treatment they desperately need.

I do know that one of my greatest fears is being called "fey."

This series is pretty good, especially when you compare it with the usual lameness of corporate virals.

Whatever they're selling, I'm buying. Those documentaries are fantastic.

There was a little ad for heating pads, is that what they're selling? This seems kinda elaborate for a heating pad advertisement.

My favorite viral was the terrorist blowing himself up inside the VW and no one outside of the car even noticed. I doubt Miss Manners would have approved.

Oops, I just realized that the rest of the films are also available on the site. My bad.

"At the very peak of his cycle... the Mexican Army stealthily wheeled an enormous horse filled with candy and small toys through the Trojan gates."

That alone was worth the price of admission. Which admittedly was $0.00 but still.

"Napoleon's Waterloo was his menstral cramps. And, Waterloo."

Our Driven Team of Researchers' Wish...
is to cultivate a national climate where men who suffer from Male Menstrual Cramps will stand up, be counted, and lend their voice to the growing chorus of men who refuse to be stigmatized, cowed, or otherwise repressed by a public who ignores, denies, or otherwise misunderstands this painful malady.

now is the time, and this is the place gentlemen.

How long before we have a "Men's Formula" of this called Myactionfigure or perhaps Fukyeh?

I'd cry Pepsi Blue, but caffeine doesn't play well with cramps. ;)

Funny stuff though!

Why We Don’t Want Men To Vote

-Alice Duer Miller (1874-1942)

1) Because man’s place is in the army.
2) Because no really manly man wants to settle any question otherwise than by fighting about it.
3) Because if men should adopt peaceable methods women will no longer look up to them.
4) Because men will lose their charm if they step out of their natural sphere and interest themselves in other matters than feats of arms, uniforms and drums.
5) Because men are too emotional to vote. Their conduct at baseball games and political conventions shows this, while their innate tendency to appeal to force renders them unfit for government.
