    Now that’s man logic! +1

  2. Last I checked, …
    Last I checked, Diet ads target both men and women. Believe me, those huge hairy belly’s are made as gross as possible.

    There is an onslaught lately of ads from Axe, telling men this is what women want you too look like. Groups of young, hot women, tackle the guy down and force him to change his hairstyle. Then continue to touch him like he’s suddenly become the sexiest thing on the planet.

    There may not be a lot of men going for plastic surgery yet, but it’s coming.

  3. Funny video.

    Even …
    Funny video.

    Even funnier that the comments are somehow about death by ball-kicking.

    Women spend huge …
    Women spend huge amounts on plastic surgery every year, and procedures like labiaplasty are becoming more and more common, women are constantly evaluated on their looks. I agree that all those penis enlargement ads prey on male insecurity (one sex ed site I visit states that the most common questions from young men are about penis size), I hate those ads too, but women do get all sorts of pressure to change the way they look, not to mention the way that most dieting ads target them.

    Some women are …
    Some women are already brilliant too, and they are no less brilliant for having body hair in whatever place or incontinence issues or wrinkles, that is the point of the ad (I think).

  6. brilliant!
    brilliant!

  7. Only your double …
    Only your double standards.
    Prejudice is always ugly and unacceptable. Don’t go thinking you’re excluded just because you’re a minority.

  8. ha ha, I never …
    ha ha, I never heard this argument before :)

  9. Yes, there are many …
    Yes, there are many cases when men died after a hit in the testicles and they die because of neurogenic shock. Testicles are very very sensitive, every man can tell you that (even if men brag usually how strong they are)

  10. that is a pretty …
    that is a pretty stupid argument for getting kicked in the nuts is worse lol we will never have an answer its one of lifes ,many un-answerable questions.

  11. they want another …
    they want another baby u idiot, because they love their 1st child & want another 1. There’s nothing more rewarding than having a child, & that makes it worthwhile. Your “nuts” hurt for 30 mins TOPS, labour can last days! And never forget that YOUR OWN MOTHER had to be in labour to bring YOUR sorry into this world. What good did being kicked in the groans ever do? There is a reason that women used to DIE in labour, now can you ever name a case of a man dying because he was kicked in the nuts?

    No, you shut up. You just want your nuts to hurt worse than a human coming out of your womb.

    Hmmm… That is …
    Hmmm… That is really dumb… Girls want another baby because they’re life long investments who bring love to you. Their life makes up for the pain. And men wanting to get kicked in the nuts again is a bad comment. It just brings pain, no love.

  21. Getting kicked in …
    Getting kicked in the nuts is a far worse pain than labour, and I can prove it. Most women who have had a baby say it’s the worst pain they’ve ever known. But these are the same women who want another baby a few years later.
    Now, can I get a show of hands from guys out there who’d enjoy being kicked in the nuts again please?
    The defense rests.
