This is for ALL MEN........ Str8 or not.......

When ever we seem to sit down to dinner it seems that the television is deluged with advertisements about FEMININE ITCH or the ever pleasant FEMININE CLEANSING FOAM, not to mention YEAST INFECTIONS and all manner absorbent packing material, individually wrapped and in industrial strength as well.

Now I don't want to seem picky, but is there a real need for the other sex to discuss these things at meal time?

Maybe it is a new diet or something.



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

for women to actually sit still long enough to notice the adverts. Demographically speaking, women are to busy preparing the family meal, tending the children, cleaning house, and all those other womanly chores to pay attention except when the family traditionally gathers for the evening meal. Now please don't sling tomatoes, I didn't say they were correct, or even attuned with today's standards. That is just how advertising works. Check commercials during sporting events. They are usually for automobiles, tools, male hygiene products, etc. Most toy commercials come on during the Saturday morning cartoons. So called prime time is about the only time the topics are mixed, because the family is together watching their favorite evening shows. It makes sense to advertisers.


Hugs, Charlie

I think that your theory is assumes that there is a TV in the Kitchen and the Laundry room.

I dunno .... It is obvious that these are for chicks and not guys, but there is got to be a reason they pick dinner time. Maybe they figure that we are eating in front of the TV and we have pizza sauce on our fingers; thereby unable to touch the remote to change another channel?????

In the US there probably IS a TV in the kitchen. Though it may not make sense I think advertisers do think the way Charlie suggests. Also, in addition to the womanly house chores, many women are busy working at jobs other times of day and the advertisers are betting dinner time will be a good time to catch their attention. Advertising research is not a very exact science. As for the pizza sauce...hehehe, no comment. BUT a joke instead (feel free to delete if joke posting is not allowed, Tim - I will understand, but I have to share this one)

Payback:

A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up and down the aisles. The sales girl sees him and asks him if she can help him. He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife. She directs him down the correct aisle. A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter. She says, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?".

He answers, "You see, it's like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes and she came home with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers. So, I figure that if I have to roll my own, SO DOES SHE!"

Sinfest is a cool website with really funny comics, try one on for size:

It's fairly irreverent as far as religion goes, so fundamentalists might not want to click that link. Smile

Actually, if you want to be a true patriot, it's a two-syllable work: "MUR-kin" (at least, that how the holier-than-thou types pronounce it, and their patriotism is never called into question).
