I am male, and therefore, I have never personally experienced the monthly visitor which plagues the fairer gender. I have experienced it second-hand, as I know many women who have had their period. And I'll speak for all men by saying "that's enough for me, really." That said, I'm sure that I'm one of the millions (dare I say billions) who are not only grossed out but also pissed off by 99% of the feminine hygiene commercials. I have no idea who writes them, but the premise is usually so stupid that it's almost offensive, and the dialogue is trite and unreal. I just saw the latest, an Always ad which has the tagline: "Make it a happy period, Always."
As I said, I myself have never had a period, but I've experienced them second-hand. I'm going to guess that that little piece of sanitary paper is just not going to be enough to make it a happy occassion. Perhaps I'm wrong. If any of the female classmates wish to wipe out my ignorance, please do. In the meantime...that is a stupid, offensive commercial, Always.
Maikopunk and I forgot our rule about not sitting together in class today, and I believe that we made an irreversible first impression on our editing instructor. My only hope is that she will continue to confuse me with Jnadiger. I'll blame Vulture, because it was her juvenile game which started the giggles.
We were talking about how vulture's boyfriend Yar told her that she is immature, and we got to talking about the immature things we did when we were kids. Maikopunk had suggested that vulture should have responded to Yar by saying "YOU'RE immature". That reminded Vulture of how the girls would outsmart the boys when she was young. If a girl was called a "pig", the girls would respond: "Yes, I am a P.I.G. I'm a pretty, intelligent girl." This also reminded her of a game they used to play with car names. They would add "anal" in front of a car name. Both Maikopunk and I deemed this immature. We sat silent for a moment, and then started spouting off car names. "Anal Dodge" "Anal Ram" "Anal Charger" "Anal Explorer""Anal Expedition". After that, it was very difficult to stop snickering randomly. I think that the poor instructor thought that we were laughing at her. Of course, when she asked, we couldn't say what we were laughing about.
I'll just chalk it up to another stunningly good first impression. I'd better work my ass off to redeem myself. Or change my name to James.
