Black Widows

This e-poster is making the rounds on the internet.  Does it strike you as funny?

Every year in the US, about 3.2 million men are the victims of an assault by an intimate partner.

Is THAT funny?

Data from British Home Office statistical bulletins and the British Crime Survey show that men made up about 40% of domestic violence victims each year between 2004-05 and 2008-09.

Is THAT funny?

In 2000, 1,247 women were killed by an intimate partner, while 440 men were killed by an intimate partner.

Is THAT funny?

Why is it okay to joke about killing males?  Whatever happened to all those cries for "equality"?

McDonald's

McDonald's is highlighting man's natural insecurity and bumbling attempts to fetch a damsel.  This commercial (ending edited) features a nerd anxious about his fading looks, and stretching to sound intelligent about a stupid park sculpture.  In the unedited version, the librarian mar'm catches him in his pretense which he plows ahead with anyway.  The commercial reminds me of the old M*A*S*H episode where Hawkeye coaches Radar on how to sound intelligent around cultured women.  "Any time she mentions music, just say 'Ah, Bach!'"  When did women seize all intellectual pursuits beyond  Nintendo and football?
