omg, that happened to me once on a date! I accidently let slip my opinion regarding the appalling practice of pharmaceutical companies spending more money on marketing
Two days ago I took a friend to a pub for a quick lunchtime drink and some lunch. My chum asked for a chicken mayonnaise baguette. I said: "That'll be a small bag, then." ....... The sound of wind howling across desert lands and tumbleweed rolling by.
And I'm not even a woman! For Gawds sake!
Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse, who star in this little filmette, are two comic actors who I usually find very UNfunny. But this is a little gem. And oh so true!!
this is ridiculously absurd!! women are more that just pretty faces and we deserve just as much of an opinion as any man. and the pictures of "educated women" are disgusting. i've never seen such horrible pictures! not all women have "delightful simple thoughts", especialy random thoughts about kittens!! women, know your limits: stand up for yourselves, and put the creators of such a horrible clip in their place - the dirt!!!!!!
anonomous. You can't seriously believe that this clip was anything else then a joke? If you were, then maybe there's some truth to what they was saying.
All you cleeeever clever guys who somehow accepted as a fact that "anonomous" was a woman failed to note a peculiar phrase hiding in the posting's general idiocy... It says: "Women, know your limits: stand up for yourselves"... Doesn't that sound a bit like someone who is addressing women from the other side of the gender gap? I hereby propose that poor stupid "anonomous" is a man. Anyone interested in making general remarks about the stupidity of men now..? 'Cause, believe me, I've got a few zingers...
Miroossian, you seem to have missed the spot where anonomous said: "women are more that just pretty faces and we deserve just as much of an opinion as any man." See the "we" in that sentence? That probably means anonomous is a girl.
It's cute that you tried, but maybe you should stick to knitting or making babies.
WOW!!! You really can't take a joke can you? Lighten the hell up. Nobody who watches this thinks its serious. Did you not learn the meaning of satire while majoring in post modern lesbien eco-feminism?
HAHAHAH!! "anonomous," you're a fucking idiot. It is a joke, dipshit. ...You HAVE to be kidding because nobody is as stupid as indicated in your comment. What the fuck is wrong with you? >:\
Anonymous: did you not hear the laugh track. Here's a hint: it's satire. It's meant to be disgusting, and pointing out it's own disgustingness. You are a moron. Any questions?
That was pretty funny. The post above me is pretty laughable too. All around a funny experience. I like it for the satire value. The women offers an interesting opinion on a subject and the men get mad.
It's pretty much mocking everyone. Men who can't stand to have an intelligent women around and women who are just dumb as hell. I think some people may have missed that. That dude was pissed when his wife tried to put in an opinion.
First of all, look through history. Men pretty much did all the stuff from day 1. We hunted the food, then we grew the food, then we shot the food, and so on. Women were essential only in reproducing. Men are naturally stronger, can take more wear and tear, and usually smarter too. By the way im not sexist or anything. OH and "Anonomus" Learn to spell Anonymous dip shit.
Well, I have to admit I'm a bit sexist. Towards my own gender, actually, which could be thought of as..odd? Ha.
But truly, women were only thought of as equals during the very early period before gender roles truly began; when they were just nomadic, and all people had to hunt and gather food, so there wasn't any strict "rules" regarding it, I suppose. Then, of course, it was recognized that women are necessary to carrying and bringing up children, and...yeah, you all know basic history, I'm sure.
Though, quite honestly, most women seriously bug the hell out of me. We're not better than men, and...
"Anonomous", you're mildly idiotic. I'm just sayin'.
Wait, so now I'm getting off track. (Damn brain can't handle staying on topic, I'm sorry.)
Oh, and also, does anyone else remember that Star Trek episode? "Spock's Brain"?
That reminds me so much of this. Even Kirk seemed shocked when the main leader made some halfways intelligent remarks after putting on the Brain Helmet (whatever).
Oooooh, Atomichron! A woman who hates other women! What an edgy and original opinion! Tell me, exactly how do you deal with being female and yet possessing a mind of such formidable, almost MALE magnitude? Is the weighty mass of your mighty man-like brain enough to make you trip over your delicate feminine feet when you walk?
And yeah, “anonomous” is a fucking idiot for not understanding this video is satire (unless, in some weird meta way, she was being intentionally daft). However, can we leave the ha-ha-hilarious misogyny out of it? It's the Internet. Stupidity is remarkably gender-indiscriminate here.
As far as I was concerned this was a satirical take on the ridiculous attitudes to women in past generations. I don't think people should take it so seriously (and yes, I'm a woman).
Congratulations on your epic troll win, anonomous. mlord, mothman405, gargamelord, miroossian, bugger, jobey, and herbertwest get a check minus for the day.
Here's a little additional information for friends on the Western side of the pond. The two male actors featured in this film are very famous comedians in the UK. To put it mildly, anyone watching this clip in the UK (ie: its target audience) would immediately recognize this as a joke. Perhaps that's not fair on the rest of the world, but it's similar to a US audience recognizing George Carlin in a sketch and knowing immediately, even though he's painfully rude and insensitive *to all viewers*, not just women, that it's supposed to be a joke. And Carlin doesn't even use a laugh track. Additional minor observation to previous comments, with regards the intelligence and intellectual capacity of both sexes: anonymous is spelt with a Y :) tee hee
oh jobey, how you underestimate the woman. only essential in reproduction? besides bearing children, which involves pain men couldn't handle, who RAISES the children, who makes the clothes, pots, food, who cleans and organizes the camp/community, who does the dirty work AFTER man is finished being manly? You can't casually dismiss women with ignorant and false statements. Men are usually smarter? Womens' cerebellums (the thinking part of the brain) are by volumetric ratio actually larger than mens. It must be the millions of years we've spent OUTTHINKING man rather than physically fighting.
ok if you are a feminist shut the fuck up you are nothing more than a waste of mans time i dont want to hear how childbirth is so painful and men couldnt take the pain shut up get hit by a car and live then well sit down in the same room and let the man[me] talk ok so next time you even open your face remember what the video said and shut up you feeble minded genetically inferior whores the video is right lolz
I don't think it's meant to be aimed at the women, but actually the society of the time. That explains why it's black and white, grainy, and sounding like a 1940s newsreel. Because society of the day was stupid in its arrogance and narrow-mindedness. Let's appreciate it for mocking a way of life that I hope has long since died off.
any man who thinks a woman with an opinion is a blithering idiot is a donkey, and any woman who thinks "her man" is in charge is disgracing every woman (like my own mother) who works/ed 40-50 hours a week, showing her intelligence and skill as a human, and then came home and provided a nurturing and loving environment, (along with my very involved father) and proved every single day that women can be strong, loving, intelligent, powerful and gracious. anyone who thinks less has not met the true woman.....she is loving and sweet, motivating and accountable, and uplifting and thankless.....hear us roar! thank you, beverly ann bailes christopher, for the example of woman
How terribly unfunny. And before anyone jumps on me with, "It's sarcastic!" I know it is sarcastic, it just happens not to be remotely funny. There's no value in sarcasm without wit. There's no punchline.
It's probably a cultural difference for Americans. Being in Britain everyone I've showed this to has laughed like crazy. "British humour" is apparently more sarcastic and subtle so not everyone gets it.
The homesexual tension between the males was intense. The "gold standard" comments were code words that the little woman did not identify with.. No wonder the boys were pissed.Their "game" was ruined.
