My father once claimed that "the male of the [human] species" is superfluous once he's reproduced. Frankly, I think it's even more applicable to most females of the species. Just ran across another illustration of it.
Youtube videos often involve "Dove" soap ads. Today's intrigued me because a group of women in a "study" were given a "beauty patch" for their skin, that they claimed made them feel better about their looks. Hmmmnnn, I'm thinking, what are the ingredients of this "magic patch"? Sounds like nothing but a placebo decal to me.
Googled it. Shoh nuff, at the end of the 2 week "experiment," the women are told that the contents of the patch consist of ... nothing. ROTFL!
OK, so I'm asking myself, did these broads not check out what they were getting themselves into before they agreed to this "experiment"? Weren't they even one bit concerned (or at least curious) about what drug might be traversing their skin and polluting their systems? And doesn't it just prove how moronically GULLIBLE the average (American) woman is? (It also goes a long way to explain why we've got someone like Obarfma in office---and why Clinton lasted so long).
As a literature major, I can't help thinking about the archetypal deceived woman in The Garden.
Of course, that placebo patch is relatively benign when compared to this updated torture device. Why not just use Sensa? {shrugs} I mean, yah, there's a long history of women suffering for the sake of "beauty" (spike heels being the Western variant of the Chinese practice of binding women's feet), but THAT patch is a bit extreme...or maybe not, since people put pierced stuff not only on their tongues, but even more masochistically, on their private parts.
Anyway, in my estimation, a really useful patch would be one that fixes the average female's brain.
