Follies of the Mad Men #126
How many idiotic themes can you find in this ad? Let me start you out:
1) Women like to hang out in bestiality bars.
2) Only men can or should be responsible for buying condoms.
3) A woman will sense a condom in your pocket and respond.
4) You can be the biggest jerk in the world, but so long as you buy a condom....
I can't go on. Your turn.

When I saw famed photog Annie Leibovitz in today's New York Times, I instantly flashed on famed director Martin Scorsese. Has anyone ever seen these two masters of the lens in the same room together?

Was this behavior ever really sexy or cool, or a good way to pick up women?

Co-ed Pig Wrestling
As Mr. Skip Peterson tells us: "This is an annual fund raiser held in Buffalo, Wyoming, for a local gymnastics team. Contestants have one minute to get the greased hog, butt first into the barrel. The coed team must also dip their hands into a bucket of Crisco before the game begins. The winning time this year was 7.45 seconds. Every team had a freash pig and each pig was only allowed to participate one time. Enjoy!"2008 Coed Pig Wrestling Championships from skip peterson on Vimeo.

Man Drought
Australia has been facing a drought in recent years, but according to a new book published down under, it's not just water in short supply. Australia's cities are also suffering from a "man drought." The problem is that there's a "man dam" in rural communities -- which means that all the men are staying on the farm while the women move to the city to find work, thus causing a "sheila shortage" in the outback. This prompted the mayor of the remote town of Mt. Isa to invite all the female "ugly ducklings" to move there to find a man.Nothing particularly weird about all this. I just like the phrases.
