This, as a red blooded insensitive male covered in rippling muscle, astounds me.

I RSS Absurdly Cool Freebie Finder to see what free stuff I can get (don't laugh! Art in America, MAD, a Fluke voltage tester, delightfully effective laxatives, travel toothpaste for the stupid TSA & more) and the RSS feed is sometimes less than descriptive,

So when I saw "free sample of Simply Discrete" I looked at it, expecting who knows what.

I saw this:


My favorite line is "believe me, these were not staged.."

Then I saw this:



and I realized this was a product so you could dress up soiled sanitary pads to look like little gifts for the next poor bastard forced to peer into your can full of lady-leavings!! Brilliant !! Quintessential Creating-need-where-there-is-none!!!

Rose scented, no less!

Now, I know not to piss or crap on the toilet seat, for instance, or the value of a courtesy flush- but gift wrapping trash? I thought the modern woman celebrated her flow, the more robust the better!! But, I suppose it takes all kinds, those gals that leave a pad draped over the wastebasket rim like a slice of New york pizza hanging out of a dumpster, as well as the dainty princess in crinoline, coiffed and perfumed with excellent nails, taking the care to leave a delightful pink present so that the landfill's feelings aren't hurt. Al Gore, it's time you wised up about people's REAL needs!

Well, like I said - I'm astounded, but I do have a memory of my sister and/or Mom making massive spheres of toilet paper as their pad camouflage protocol. I mean really a lot - like a softball or something.... didn't know what it was but was never tempted to unfurl to find out....

Sisters! Fling free!

Ok, I guess he Is old... I mean, what's up with this gas pump from that Obama-is-to-blame-for-high-gas-prices-for-some-obtuse-and-goofy-reason ad? Jeeezus! Does it have a crank? Where would the local Fire authority approve the use of a pump like this? Do they give stamps? Free Brooklyn Dodgers glass with every fill up? Well, I suppose when servants "gas up" for you, you lose contact with technological changes. Even ubiquitous obvious ones.

...and he shows Obama smiling, which I think is supposed to look mocking or disdainful or smarmy or something



but for me all I can see is this......



Y'know you approve this message when you're part of the uber-rich aristocracy, and can't understand the semiotics that might trip you up, because "Hey that's a gas pump!"
