Well, maybe it's best if we don't start down the road of asking questions because we will probably never know the answers to things like, "What is with the cheerful whistling?" and "Do his parents know that he's using their garage to build a giant foam lady that he can fuck using his entire body as a penis?"

FDA Criticized For Approving Controversial Vaginal Mesh

Margaret Hartmann — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 23:58:00 EDT

Thanks to a surgical mesh that was implanted in 2007, 65-year-old Marci Sutin Levin is in such excruciating pain that she can't work, sleep through the night, or have sex. "The pain of childbirth was finite, and you're delivering a child," she says. "This was very, very different. It's relentless, and it's untenable. And it doesn't lead to anything." Levin is one of hundreds of women suing the makers of a vaginal mesh used to hold a woman's organs in place after pelvic floor muscles weaken. Between 2008 and 2010 the FDA received 1,503 reports of injuries, malfunctions, and deaths associated with the product, and now many are blaming the agency for not testing the mesh thoroughly before approving it.

Every now and then, you come across something that forces you to challenge your own convictions. To reassess your opinions and rethink your ideals. The new Summer's Eve commercial is that thing. This clip should be a winner: It hails the vagina as the "cradle of life" and the "center of civilization," something men have fought and died for. It insists that women are amazing and should be worshipped. The company has obviously blown a wad of cash on this pussy-praising… So why does it just feel like they're blowing smoke up our asses?
