I think this article was done as a joke; not a straight out joke, one of those jokes where the writer gauges the reaction of his audience to see if he can take it even farther next time. I might have thought it was satire if it weren’t for the fact that so many guys (especially Spike.com bros) take this as gospel. I also found the "STFU unfunny feminazis" comments morbidly hilarious. #brotallyawesome
Is it possible that this article is so over the top because it's satirical? Because seriously, I don't know a single guy (and I've known a lot of "bro"ish guys) who would actually say this to another person: "Hi, I'm Dave - Can you please take your mask off so I can make sure you're not ugly?" #brotallyawesome
@CognitiveSystems: Its supposed to be funny. I don't think anyone would say "Hi, I'm Dave - Can you please take your mask off so I can make sure you're not ugly?"
But you have to be pretty misogynistic to think this stuff is funny and not hateful. #brotallyawesome
You know what's funny? Apparently these guys need to be told what they should and should not be attracted to by other guys... otherwise (it seems) they might actually look at the "double D breasts propped up by a sumo-sized stomach"! Because women are props to make men look cool to their buddies, yanno. #brotallyawesome
Great article! Yeah, how dare women be either considered unattractive by 19 year old frat boys or unavailable for sex. Great line at the end of the article about removing masks. Guys like edward pozzi below just don't get it. It's not that the article isn't funny that's the crime: it's the philistine attitude to women. Speaking as a straight married man with two daughters. Unafraid of being called a 'pussy' by sexist freaks because quite simply, 'vagina' ain't a dirty word.
The thing is by writing an article about the stupid, insipid crap written by Spike, you bring their readership numbers up. How? Well, I just clicked on the link and went to the page and quickly glanced at it. I'm sure I'm not the only one and what does Spike.com think...well, the look at the number of hits for the article and they think they've hit on something and more dumb a** articles will be written.
It's a never ending cycle and I fear Jezebel and the Jezzies that read it are playing a part in it. #brotallyawesome
It's amazing, in a two page text this guy managed to embody the perfect misogynist! Not only does he hate and has no respect for all these women for a variety of bullshit reasons, but he also hates and has no respect for the women he would like to hit on. Which, according to him are women with eating disorders, boob jobs, and low self-esteem. Fan-fucking-tastic. Has he considered that maybe he doesn't like women at all? #brotallyawesome
Man, I haven't visited Jezebel in awhile, but I forgot how funny the endless "everything is misogyny" rants are. If Jezebel could come up with a way to replace "pay per click" with "pay per misogyny reference", the owners and everyone involved could retire tomorrow.
For the record, I and every other straight man, who isn't a complete p#ssy, found the article hysterical. If the Jezebel writers/commenters focused half the energy they spend on identifying, debating, and whining about misogyny, on dominating the world, they'd never have to worry about it again since they would rule the planet (and could make misogyny a crime punishable by castration and/or death). But since you spend all your time complaining about how humorous articles written as a joke are the inspiration for the degradation, humiliation, rape, murder, etc of women (I don't think any of the feminazis wrote that yet, but I bet they were all thinking it), that will never happen.
I'll close with a line eloquently uttered by Sgt Hulka in "Stripes":
@edward.pozzi: Hey guess what, my boyfriend isn't a pussy, could probably take your flabby ass in a fight and he thought the article fucking sucked. #brotallyawesome
@edward.pozzi: Don't worry, sweetcheeks, all our harpy shrieks are just our way of getting warmed up for the new world order. So you know, misogny will be punished by forced entrance into the VAGINADOME.
everyone who commented on it thought it was completely tasteless. There IS a way to do mildly offensive things in a funny way-- Tina Fey is a master of this, but he completely missed the mark. Just bad writing, more than anything. I hope none of us reading this seriously take a single thing this guy says to heart. #brotallyawesome
@ketamineKitty: I differ from you in that I still find outrageously offensive material hilarious if they are skillfully crafted for humor. Its just a pity they weren't. #brotallyawesome
@ketamineKitty: Yeah, I can tell this was going for the "so totally over-the-top and outrageous that it's hilarious" but it missed the mark. Badly. #brotallyawesome
I was debating whether to pull together a last minute costume and go to the bar, or stay home, work, watch movies, and hope no small children knock on the door. Reading that blurb convinced me to stay home. Maybe that's letting the douchebags win, but I cannot handle the possibility of encountering that segment of humanity tonight. #brotallyawesome
Dear Spike:
We don't care what turns you on. Except insofar as it's nice to avoid, as possible, so we do not asphyxiate from the Axe body spray as we turn down your generous offers to show us a good time.
I showed my husband the list, and his response: "I'm insulted as the supposed target audience for that article, as someone who wants to be a writer as well as a guy who finds women attractive."
I loathe this kind of linkbait, because you know in a week or two this douche will be writing a post on his personal top ten of MILFS. #brotallyawesome
I am so disgusted with that list I'm having trouble breathing. Whether or not it's intended as a joke, it is awful in ways I will have to compose myself to express. #brotallyawesome
